Accelerating Technology-Enabled Solutions to Make Cities Happier, Healthier, and More Productive.
We are an urban solutions accelerator that tackles problems too big for any single sector or organization to solve alone. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our mission is to accelerate technology-enabled solutions to make cities happier, healthier, and more productive.
Together with our partners, we have launched new solutions to manage urban flooding, map underground infrastructure, reduce congestion, and use economic transaction data to inform public investments.
We reimagine cities as places where technology fuels innovation, inclusion, and engagement for all.
— problems far too big for any one city to solve on its own.
For instance, could urban traffic congestion be reduced significantly if fewer delivery trucks were stopping in the middle of the street? What would it take to get consumers to accept a later delivery? Or would creating designated delivery truck zones be a better solution?
Our job is to answer those questions using our proven methodology — one that ensures governments, residents, community groups, academics, and startups participate in the process.
