About

The urbanixm mission is to organize the world’s information about urban policy and infrastructure interventions, with a special focus on their impact on the social and environmental sustainability of cities.

We support those who make our cities a better place, be it local authorities, urban planners, transport engineers, urban activists, city think tanks and NGOs.

We apply a mixed approach valuing both quantitative and qualitative information. We analyze quantitative urban data and extract actionable insights and apply artificial intelligence to curate qualitative urbanism information harvested from the web.

urbanixm takes a pragmatic approach where we develop our core technology through our urban data and knowledge services. Take a look at our stories about the impact of selected urban interventions and contact us for exploring collaboration opportunities.
