Open Cities Lab is a non-profit open and non-partisan organisation that combines the use of action research, co-design, data science, and technology with civic engagement to enable the development of inclusive cities and urban spaces. Open Cities Lab was established by a group of founding members who desire to serve the common good through the advancement of transparency. Our design methodology and implementation will always reflect these ethics with the user placed firmly at the centre of all important decisions. We work to build inclusion and participatory democracy in cities and urban spaces through empowering citizens, building trust and accountability in civic space, and capacitating government.
