Cities have an unparalleled potential to improve the lives of the people within them. Understanding how to change the systems within a city, and unlock that potential, is difficult.
We bring data to your ideas for positive change, exploring their impact on the city. We build tools and visualisations that unlock creativity, progress and better decisions.
We work to uphold the right to the city, and approach projects with openness and transparency.
