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

Why

Complex urban systems hold the potential for innovative, holistically sustainable urban transformation and development that facilitates social cohesiveness and diversity. Regrettably, these spaces, their inhabitants and myriad societal systems are frequently treated in isolation. Urban dynamics get into conflict with one another, instead. These frictions drive societal and cultural division, economic challenges, social inequalities, and environmental hazards including climate change. With the UN prediction that by 2050, 68% of the world’s population will live in cities, it is imperative we work to harness the promising potential of complex urban systems and leverage the power of their connectedness to foster conducive, dynamic, sustainable spaces and livelihoods.
