Urban and territorial analysis

CityO conducts socio-economic analysis at large – “from the spoon to the city” – across territories and regions in Europe and globally.

CityO integrates economic and financial analysis, feasibility studies, impact assessment, and strategic foresight within urban development projects. We carry out research, analyses and strategies that connect culture, cities and sustainable economic development, with a focus on innovation-led urban regeneration.

Our projects range from economic and financial analysis applied to local urban planning, to analyzing key territorial sectors, to strategic plans for cities and regions.

Every project is supported by targeted local data collection and generation, benchmarked against statistics from comparable areas.
