Better transport and urban planning, driven by vision, data and curiosity.
Precision City combines policy, economics and engineering to help you build cities that work for the future. We start from the principle that anything is possible.
Where the rubber
meets the road
We believe informed experimentation helps cities adapt and thrive. Our approach is to gather the best possible evidence from around the world – and then we support you to give things a go.

We help you make
the best choices
Shape impactful objectives
Projects and programmes often fail to make a real difference because of a focus on superficial symptoms.
We dig deeper with system thinking to help you craft investment objectives and policy goals that really matter.
Business case development, investment logic mapping, and strategic planning all rely on this critical foundation.
Develop better options
You can't make the right choice without the right ideas!
Our multi-disciplinary perspective brings you a whole new array of possibilities, including win-win solutions from the global frontier.
Option development and long-listing that combines transport, land use, policy and technology can solve your problems more effectively and efficiently than conventional siloed thinking.
Communicate effectively
Patience and empathy go a long way in building consensus on challenging topics.
We look beyond surface positions to connect with people's deeper values - inside organisations and with the public.
We help people reach agreement on pragmatic solutions by finding the values and challenges we can agree on, and providing people with the tools and perspective to arrive at shared conclusions together.
Make good decisions
The world is changing fast, with serious risks and radical opportunities emerging faster than many people realise.
Economic appraisal, cost-benefit analysis, and multi-criteria decision analysis - we do these with heart and soul. We're passionate about real-world evidence and robust data analysis driving choices that are holistic, feasible, and impactful.
If you're not testing scenarios for climate change impacts and supply chain disruption, are your choices sound?
