urbanixm helps teams make better place-based decisions through custom geospatial analysis, desk research, and interactive reports.
Who We Work With
- City planning teams, municipalities, and public-sector advisors, especially in small and medium-sized cities
- Urban professionals (architects, designers, and consultants) supporting local government on sustainable place-making
- Urban think-tanks and NGOs building evidence for reports, advocacy, strategy, and program design
- Institutional real-estate investors and asset managers advancing sustainable cities through place-based investment and stewardship
Problems We Help Solve
- Small and medium-sized cities often need decision-grade analysis without the budget or scale for fully in-house specialist teams
- Urban think-tanks and NGOs need up-to-date case study evidence they can use in reports, strategy, and public communication
- Urban policy, planning, and investment decisions are strongest when global best practice is tested against local context and constraints
- Public debate on urban interventions is increasingly polarized, creating a need for transparent, evidence-led analysis that supports constructive decisions

1) Urban Data Insight Reports
Deep dives into local and regional datasets to answer concrete strategic questions.
- Integrate and appraise heterogeneous data (urban, mobility, energy, real-estate, socio-economic)
- Perform spatial/statistical analysis for a clearly defined local decision context
- Deliver outputs as decision memos, static reports, or interactive exploration artifacts
Sample topics:
2) Urban Case-Study Insights
Structured desk research on comparable places and interventions, focused on implementation evidence and observed impact.
- Curate relevant global case studies for a target challenge
- Synthesize implementation patterns, risks, and transferability constraints
- Provide recommendation frameworks that translate global practice into local action
Sample topics:
3) Custom Geospatial Decision Support
Custom analyses and prototypes for teams that need tailored methods beyond standard reporting.
- Opportunity mapping and location prioritization
- Scenario comparison for policy, design, and investment options
- Rapid prototypes to support stakeholder alignment and decision communication
Engagement Models
Evidence Sprint (2-4 weeks)
Fast, scoped analysis to answer one high-value question with decision-ready evidence.
Deliverables: concise report, key visuals/maps, recommendation summary.
Insights Build (4-8 weeks)
Broader analysis combining data integration, modeling, and case study synthesis.
Deliverables: report pack or interactive artifact, methods appendix, decision workshop.
Productization Track (8-16+ weeks)
For teams that want reusable data/analysis components that can evolve toward a software product.
Deliverables: reusable data pipeline components, API-ready outputs, technical roadmap.

Selected Relevant Experience
- Built urbanixm as an urban evidence platform combining focused crawl, ML-based content curation, and search/browse workflows for evidence discovery.
- Unified 15+ fragmented real-estate datasets into a single API with 250+ time series and 10+ combined indices. (Placemake.io)
- Delivered rapid geospatial prototypes for CO2 recycling opportunity mapping and carbon insetting exploration.
- Produced applied analyses and data stories, including walkable service accessibility and pricing of energy performance certificates.
- Collaborated with a cross-disciplinary team of makers, scientists, and urban professionals at the Future Cities Catapult (now Connected Places Catapult).
Why Work With Us
- Rare blend of geospatial analysis, information retrieval, and product engineering
- Startup-proven execution from zero to MVP under tight constraints
- Practical focus on actionable outputs, not analysis for analysis’s sake
- Service-first delivery model that can transition into repeatable product assets
