People

A collective of urban change makers, data and social scientists, strategists, and designers

Our team is made up of more than 110 purpose-driven people from over 25 countries. We have varied expertise, backgrounds, and stories that shape who we are and how we show up.

Recognizing each our own strengths and weaknesses, we do our best work when we intersect, overlap, and stretch. We subscribe to ‘collaboration over competition’ within the organization, as well as with the partners and client groups we work with. All this to say, from CEO to intern, on good days, and less-good days, we simply strive to do our best to help create more equitable, healthy, and sustainable cities for all.

You’ll find us at our offices in Copenhagen, New York, and San Francisco. As our work takes us to new regions, we always adapt our practice to fit the unique culture and nuances of each place.
