About Complex(c)ity

We deliver implementable solutions to urban complexities and tensions that arise out of rapid urbanisation.

Systems Facilitators

We provide a 360-degree understanding of the complexity of urban systems and spaces and the challenges that arise within them. Our context-driven approach allows us to navigate these challenges with focused agility. Through this, we convene and facilitate processes to address urban issues and bring about dynamic and innovative urban development, from concept to implementation.

Urbanisation-Sensitive Programming

To help us to do this in a coherent and neutral manner, we have devised a multidimensional tool that incorporates key elements of urbanisation and forces participants and other users of the tool to (re)assess their urban projects to reveal not only the intended but also the complex unintended consequences of their urban projects.

Our overarching goal is to converge and align the multifaceted systems that form the fundamental framework of urban areas.

ComplexCity is a team of three professionals experienced in our respective fields, encompassing participatory policy design and development processes; integrated urban development strategies; hard and soft infrastructure, including transport, spatial planning, and built environment; and
sustainable social, environmental, formal and informal economic development and innovation.

  • We deliver implementable solutions to urban complexities and tensions that arise out of rapid urbanisation.
  • We provide in-depth understanding and analysis of the complexity of urban systems and spaces and the challenges that arise within them. Our context-driven approach allows us to navigate these challenges with focused agility.
  • We convene and facilitate processes to address urban issues holistically.

Our analysis and tool assist in planning urban areas, designing broader urban development schemes and creating urban development projects.

It is a process and tool primarily for planners and architects, government or international agencies involved in urban development, and investors or multinational development financiers.
