Urban intelligence for inclusive, resilient growth
Helping emerging-market cities and underserved communities make better infrastructure, resilience and economic-development decisions.
Cities are where global change becomes local presure.
As a founder-led social impact platform, UrbanMacro helps cities and development partners understand how these forces are reshaping places, identify where needs and opportunities are emerging, and make better investment choices.
Services
We help governments, development agencies and NGOs connect the bigger forces shaping cities with practical investment decisions. Our work brings together spatial analysis, economics and local knowledge to identify priorities, compare options and strengthen the case for investment.
The places most in need of investment are not always the places most visible in the data.
How we work
We work across emerging markets, with a particular focus on fast-growing cities, underserved communities and informal or displaced populations. Our work is grounded in local context, helping connect wider urban change with the places where investment can make the greatest difference.
We work with geospatial, economic and investment analysts from across the markets we know, combining international experience with local expertise and on-the-ground understanding.
