Urban
We help cities become healthier, smarter, and more sustainable for all their citizens.

With urbanisation on the rise, cities play a central role in future-proofing transitions. From energy to digital to healthy and green transitions – cities are at the forefront of developing, piloting, and mainstreaming cutting-edge solutions. We equip cities with the tools they need to address health and well-being, digitalisation, energy, and social and environmental challenges.

What do we do?
Designing strategies
We turn policy ambitions and objectives into a strategy and action plan to help cities achieve their goals. Our strategy expertise covers a wide range of urban topics, including health-focused urban planning, energy systems, urban biodiversity, mobility, and smart cities.
Replicating solutions
Today’s cities face many similar urban challenges. By sharing and replicating each other’s solutions, delivering public services can become more efficient and costs can be decreased. We help cities connect, collaborate and scale up solutions, adapting them to the local context.
Building partnerships
Liveable cities need to mainstream multiple policy objectives horizontally across various departments and organisations, their priorities and actions. We help facilitate working groups to effectively deliver benefits to all through urban planning processes and investment programmes.
