Combining global design experience with powerful digital technologies, we help shape policies, planning strategies & design proposals that benefit people, property & the environment.We provide creative urban planning and building design expertise in five key areas:1. Architecture & urban planningWe design places that work for people and enhance the environments around them, from individual buildings to entirely new cities. Our use of data and predictive computing sets us apart in a field that too often relies on guesswork.2. ConsultingWe deliver expert planning and design advice at all stages of development, from investment appraisal to operational performance. Our focus on people and place helps inform design strategies. The evidence we produce supports planning processes and influences decision-takers.3. TrainingWe train individuals and organisations in the use of our science-based and human-focused approach through face-to-face classroom teaching as well as the Space Syntax Online Training Platform, an open access learning environment.4. ResearchWe investigate the questions raised by practice as part of a process of continuous service improvement. We undertake extensive in-house research, we partner with likeminded organisations and we act as industrial sponsors of independent, academic activities.5. Digital developmentWe write algorithms and create software-based tools to analyse the performance of buildings and urban places. We connect Big Data and train Artificial Intelligence (AI) to understand and simulate effective new environments. Using three decades of international experience, we shape the planning and design tools of the future.Space SyntaxThriving life in buildings & urban places
