Methods
From a question to evidence that holds up. Every source is cited, every assumption said out loud.
Question
Some questions recur, but no two projects or places are the same. We talk with you about your exact needs.
Data
Extracting, transforming and harmonising data sources, structures and standards into a complete digital snapshot of the place, so the groundwork is ready.
Evaluation and modelling
Deploying geospatial processes and algorithms, current methods and metrics of urban analysis, and selected simulations at micro and macro scale.
Output
Producing transparent, verifiable results as finished graphics and reports, interactive maps or editable raw data.
Tools
Questions that keep coming back became tools with a fixed focus and a variable scope. You can order them directly.
FRAME
A 2D/3D model of a site and its surroundings, aligned and ready to design on.
order
SCAN
What is on a site and around it: constraints, reach, market and economy, in plain language.
order
ATLAS
A whole town in maps and numbers: thematic maps, regional ties and benchmarking.
order
DELTA
What a strategic investment does to its region: people, housing, transport, local climate, public space, services and municipal budgets.
order
We assemble data from 160+ sources and formats, from geoparquet to archive scans. Data processes are EU-harmonised and ready for use worldwide.
