VISION AND MISSION
Culture and Innovation as Urban Development Drivers
CityO promotes culture and innovation as strategic levers for local development, and the measurement of their economic and social impact as an essential step in guiding public policy and investment decisions.
Through research and consultancy, CityO contributes to designing urban and territorial investment models in which cultural and innovation infrastructures generate economic, social, and relational value.
By analyzing people’s co-presence in places and spaces, we bring a distinctively human-centered perspective to infrastructure development.
