National, regional & urban planning strategies that integrate spatial connectivity, land use & transport infrastructure.

We help public and private organisations forecast the performance of large urban areas, from individual towns to entire national networks. Our modelling platforms assemble data on spatial layout, land use and transport connectivity.

Addressing issues of mobility, land use vitality, access to employment, wealth distribution, car dependency, community cohesion and health inequality, Space Syntax analysis helps to put people at the heart of policies and action plans.
