For planning teams and place-based consultancies
Understand the neighbourhood. Know what to investigate next.
UrbanCat prepares a clear evidence brief around your planning question. See what the available sources support, where the gaps are, and what further work the decision needs.
A consultancy engagement, with scope, evidence feasibility, fee and timing agreed first. Staff prepare and review the work; clients receive the agreed, approved outputs.
SELECTED FIRST SCOPE · IN PREPARATION
A focused facility evidence brief for King’s Cross, London
Which mapped healthcare, education and community facilities intersect a modelled 15-minute walking catchment, and what should be checked next?
The aim is to help a planning or estates team commission the next checks. A mapped facility is not proof of an accessible entrance, spare capacity or service quality.
Planned handover: PDF brief, matching DOCX, evidence CSV, a catchment map and investigation priorities.
These are planned outputs for the selected scope. Delivery requires an agreed brief and current independent approval of the sources, method, complete boundary and exact report files.
Make the next discussion more useful
Frame the question
Bring a location and a decision. We check whether the available evidence can support the assessment before agreeing the work.
Separate facts from gaps
Read each figure with its geography, date and limitations. Missing evidence remains visible instead of becoming a confident-looking score.
Plan the next investigation
Use a traceable account of what is known and what still needs checking to brief colleagues and specialist advisers.
From your question to a reviewed brief
Share the study location, decision, measures and any existing sources. UrbanCat checks feasibility, agrees the scope, prepares the evidence and obtains a separate review before release.
Understand the processCoverage is confirmed for your study area
Maps, comparisons and individual measures depend on suitable evidence and approved methods. Unsupported scores, forecasts and monetary estimates are excluded. The current sample shows these limits explicitly.
Explore the faithful format previewStart with the decision you need to make
You do not need to choose a software plan or create a staff account to discuss the work. Prepare a short enquiry so we can establish whether the service fits.
