This is how we transform cities, communities and spaces.
We are based out of Cape Town. Our experience is in South African and African contexts but we work in cities worldwide.
Our network brings together specialists from various backgrounds – including planners, anthropologists, actuaries, designers and researchers – united by our passion for cities and willingness to engage with urban issues. We are led by Rashiq Fataar, a respected urbanist with a long history of work in the field.
We lead, co-create and deliver projects which align with our goals of more visionary, sustainable and inclusive cities for all.
