A practice, not a platform.
We work alongside city teams to translate global open data into local decisions. The output is an analysis, a plan, and code anyone can rerun — not a subscription.
Open climate analyses cities can act on.
Heat, flooding, biodiversity, urban growth — assessments produced with municipalities, not for them. Code, data, and methodology open by default.
Municipal staff who plan for the next storm.
Sustainability leads, planners, GIS analysts in cities with urgent risk and modest budgets — and the local NGOs who work alongside them.
Tools matured. Costs collapsed.
Cloud-native geospatial means a Pergamino-sized city can run analyses that used to require a national agency. We translate that reality into local practice.
Where we've worked.
Six cities so far. Each one a year-long engagement: listen, build, hand it over open.
Heat at the edge of the city.
When the river rises.
Fire risk in the Sierras.
Green corridors for the valley.
Subsidence and aquifers.
Fog-catching urbanism.
How it works.
Four phases, one year. We embed with city teams, build open tools, and leave capacity behind.
Listen
Two months on the ground. We map stakeholders, walk the neighborhoods, and understand what decisions the data needs to support.
Build
Four months co-creating. Jupyter notebooks, cloud pipelines, dashboards — all open source, all versioned, all reproducible.
Test
Two months piloting. Real users, real feedback, real iteration. We fix what breaks.
Hand over
Four months training. Local staff run the stack. We stay on call but step back.
Beyond pilots.
Longer-term programs that scale insights across regions and themes.
Barrios Visibles
Making informal settlements visible in official data through building footprint analysis and community mapping.
Geospatial Python
Open-source curriculum for cloud-native geospatial analysis in Spanish and English.
Data Dialogues
Monthly conversations between local experts and global technologists.
Who we work with.
We partner with cities, research institutions, and NGOs committed to open climate action.
We'd love to hear from you.
Monthly field notes from the pilots. No spam, just updates.
