Introduction
We focus on:
⁃ Advanced Data Analysis and Insights. Data preparation, visualisation and modelling to inform policy, design and business decisions. We go beyond conventional datasets to find opportunities others miss. Like the work we did for the Greater London Authority (GLA) to evaluate the feasibility of predictive modelling for housing development patterns using Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) data.
⁃ Digital. We believe that the future of urban planning and decision-making is digital, user-friendly, transparent, and efficient. We build Dashboards, SaaS tools and GIS-based visualisations. Like OneCity, our digital tool to find land, secure funding and prepare planning applications powered by public and private datasets that we deployed for TUHF21 to identify priority investment locations in South Africa. Or the digital solution we developed for the UNESCO city of Derbent to streamline the design compliance process.
⁃ Evidence-Based Planning & Urban Governance. We combine data with sound planning methodology and digital tools to create evidence-based strategies, inform policies, and improve business processes. Like the Infrastructure Accessibility Tool that we built to inform multiple design and planning projects that uses live data on social infrastructure, services and utilities to inform land use mix and density decisions on the local scale.
