Inclusive and resilient urban investment.
UrbanMacro focuses on emerging-market cities and underserved urban places facing rapid growth, climate risk, infrastructure pressure and economic change.
Our Services
01 Understanding Urban Change
We help cities understand the bigger economic, population, spatial and climate changes shaping their future and inclusive growth opportunities. This provides the context for better planning and investment decisions.
02 Identifying Priority Areas
We help identify where growth pressures, infrastructure gaps, climate risks and underserved communities are concentrated. This helps focus attention and resources on the places where investment can have the greatest impact.
03 Prioritising Investments
We help compare competing investment needs and identify which projects or interventions should come first. This supports better use of limited development funding and helps align investment with wider development goals.
04 Assessing Investment Viability
We help test whether priority investments are economically justified, affordable and likely to deliver lasting benefits. This helps strengthen the case for funding and improve confidence before projects move forward.
Spatial intelligence for inclusive urban growth.
Our Capabilities
01 Spatial Analysis
We use GIS, spatial data, remote sensing and AI-enabled tools to understand how cities are functioning and changing over time. This helps reveal where people, infrastructure, economic activity and risks are concentrated.
02 Economic Analysis
We combine economic, demographic and industry data with new analytical tools to understand the forces shaping urban growth. This helps connect wider economic change with decisions about places, infrastructure and investment.
03 Investment Analysis
We assess the costs, benefits and wider impacts of urban investments and development options.
This helps clients compare choices, strengthen investment cases and make better use of limited resources.
04 Community & Local Insight
We bring local knowledge and community perspectives into the evidence used to shape urban investment decisions. This helps ensure analysis reflects how places actually work, particularly in informal and underserved communities.
We welcome conversations with partners working on inclusive and resilient urban development.
