Our
Values

Community-First

The work we do can impact communities. We care about working directly with local governments or local impact groups. We work with a variety of stakeholders to ensure the research we provide is useful and meaningful.


Innovation

Making progress in the urban environment is all about thinking creatively and earnestly. We value unique ideas and stories to make an impact.


Interdisciplinary

Urban issues are complex and involve multiple discplines. Diverse perspectives are essential for generating innovative solutions. Our team brings together expertise from various fields, including architecture, engineering, history, art, sociology, economics, and computer science.


Frontier

Maintaining up-to-date research on the latest urban experiment is key to making progress. We discuss new urban approaches with a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds, integrating them into durable academic frameworks.
