Our vision

Territories face many local, national and global issues that bring them to redesign their planning.

An urbanised world

We live in a world where urbanisation is galloping. In France, 80% of the population lives in an urban area.

Each year in France, there are 3 million of moves, being 10% of the population.

An advent of data

Through European directives that oblige territories to open their data to citizens – open data.

Environmental issues

Such as climate change that push territories to have a perspective of environmental and social durability.

Unequal territories in competition

Territories move differently: some win, others lose. Facing with an increasing competition, each territory must be able to enhance its strengths to stay in the race.

A temptation to standardise territories

Each territory is different. And yet we try to repeat solutions which work elsewhere. Each solution must be designed for the territory according to citizens’ expectations, territories and their projects.

Facing with these issues, it seems obvious that the dynamic relation that binds the different elements of a territory must be redesigned. And we strongly believe that data have a key role to play in it. 

Cities can’t be designed by town planners and engineers only. Citizens must be at the core of territorial planning decisions.
We believe the future of the city and territories is focused on citizens: the expression of their needs and expectations will be a solid base for a development model of smart cities.

Our mission

Put citizens at the core of smart territories’ planning.

Improve durably citizens' life

and help them in their key decisions. Simply, make their life easy.

Create a personalised citizen-territory relation

thanks to data, to develop smarter territories and to put citizens at the core of territorial decision making.
