The Core Diagnostic for Every City Leader
Urban Compass
City Diagnostic Tool
Urban Compass — City Diagnostic (Your Starting Point)
Understand how your city is really performing — across systems, governance, and delivery.
The Urban Compass identifies:
where your city is under pressure
where the biggest opportunities sit
which shifts matter most right now
It doesn’t rank your city. It tells you what to do next. It assesses the city across two connected layers:
The 8 Urban Blueprint shifts — how the city governs, procures, learns, tests, collaborates, and uses data.
Core system pillars — the physical, financial, digital, resource, mobility, and social systems that determine whether the city can function under stress.
Outputs:
A City Compass Report that provides practical, usable data for decision making
Top risks and opportunities to decide where to start
A Refusing to Fail / Adaptive / Fragile classification to identify vulnerable city systems
Recommendations for a practical set of tools: ROI Decision Maker, Reform Playbook, Challenge to Procure, City as a Testbed or others
Additional Tools — Used When the City Is Ready
Once the diagnostic is clear, cities use the tools that match their priorities. Not every city needs every tool.
ROI Modeler — For Investment Decisions
Used when a city is evaluating a specific intervention. For example:
Should we invest in urban cooling?
Which solution delivers the best return?
What is the financial, environmental, and operational case?
This tool helps cities build a defensible investment case — before committing capital.
City as a Testbed — For Real-World Validation
Used when the answer isn’t clear on paper.
Turn the city into a live testing environment — trialling solutions, policies, and technologies in real conditions before scaling.
Challenge to Procure — For Faster, Smarter Delivery
Used when procurement is slowing everything down.
Move from buying predefined solutions to defining the problem and letting the market respond with better answers.
Urban Reform Playbook — For System Change
Used when the issue isn’t a single project — it’s how the city operates.
Translate the 8 shifts into a clear, sequenced plan that city teams can actually implement.
Urban Heat & Environmental Intelligence — For Targeted Climate Action
Used when cities need to understand environmental stress in detail.
Identify heat islands, pressure points, and intervention zones — and link them directly to action and investment.
No Tool Sprawl. No Consultancy Dependency.
You don’t need everything at once.
You don’t need a long engagement to get started.
Start with the diagnostic.
Use the tools that match your priorities.
Move forward with clarity.
This isn’t about analysis for its own sake.
It’s about helping cities make decisions — and act on them.
