Our take
Cities are increasingly complex and interconnected landscapes to navigate. UrbanFootprint, a location intelligence and urban planning company, supplies software that enables users to look at multiple different outcomes simultaneously, to help not only urban planners and architects but also corporations ranging from manufacturers to utilities and healthcare providers.
UrbanFootprint's software is versatile and high-utility, providing clients with nationwide data and sector-specific insights. In the wake of the pandemic, the company helped governments craft better assistance programs by identifying the neighborhoods most in need of support, and, as the spotlight on climate change grows ever brighter, it has helped public agencies to prioritize climate resilience projects.
UrbanFootprint's ability to help navigate the critical fields of urban transformation, climate change, social equity, and community resilience should keep it in high demand as government and public attitudes shift to address these issues.
