Cities play a central role in the future of humankind on this planet. For the first time in history more than 50% of people live and work in urban areas. This is a historic moment. Cities are hubs for change, as here we dream, discuss, live, grow, work. If we create human and kind cities, we create sustainable presents and better futures where to live a good life, together.
What we do
We provide cities, organizations and change makers with human-powered data and insights to make sense of the present, creative tools to start shaping the future today, and share our knowledge so anyone can be a city maker.
Data & Insights
Cities are complex systems, created and experience by complex beings. To make them better we need better insights. It is not the lack of data, it is the lack of connections and interpretation. Let's us help you create better public space by combining spatial analysis with system & trend research. And future-proof it by what matters most... the humans that make the city into what it is.
