Empowering places

Many places have been planned in ways that only serve a small section of the population. This impacts people's experience of their surroundings, individually and collectively. As such, it affects the extent to which they trust and feel represented within planning and development processes.


We are excited to be part of a growing community of professionals determined to drive positive change and support places to become better for everyone, and to empower people to thrive.

Transparent data analysis

We bring transparent, repeatable, and auditable approaches to data analysis. We use sophisticated and responsible analytical tools, including our geospatial computation engine (b6).


With that, we enhance planning strategies and assessment of impact, from masterplan to regional scales; we can help you evidence social impact and demonstrate ROI

We centre our offering around  four key areas.

Through our drive to achieve transparent, repeatable and scalable place-based analysis, we seek to build trust in the planning process, and to inform decisions that truly reflect wider public interests.
