What we work on
Seven solutions, four cross-cutting lenses, one integrated picture.
Cities don't experience their challenges in silos, and neither should the response. Each solution is a way into the same urban system — connected through resilience, inclusion, governance, and economic impact.
Solutions
Seven integrated solutions
Three service systems, two enabling and steering layers, the built environment, and one outcome. The seven solutions form an integrated system, not a catalogue of products.
Service systems
-
Mobility
Access, reliability and active transit — the people-first lens on urban movement.

Energy
Grid, mini-grids, stand-alone systems and clean cooking as one resilience picture.

Waste & Circular Economy
From collection gaps and uncontrolled disposal to circular flows that protect public health.

Enablers & steering
Built environment
How we look at every solution
Four cross-cutting lenses
Resilience & Climate
Cities must absorb climate stress: heat, flooding, water scarcity, and ageing infrastructure.
Inclusion & Access
Services must reach those most often excluded — informal settlements, women, the very young and very old, persons with disabilities.
Governance & Rights
Trustworthy delivery requires participation, transparency, data protection, and clear accountability.
Economic Impact
Better urban systems mean productivity, jobs, fiscal capacity, and lower lifetime costs of failing infrastructure.
Want to talk through a specific solution?
Which themes fit best is highly city-specific. Tell us a little about the city, the partners involved, and what kind of decision you're trying to make. We'll come back with the right entry point.
