Data Analysis and Modelling
Data increases efficiency by being strategic, prioritizing and directing resources where they are needed. Community data helps voices of people to be heard. It is essential for designing localized and sustainable interventions. Community data integrated and spatialized with city data helps people and cities make informed decisions by visualizing causes and relationships for desired results. JC experts develop and spatialize community data, developing local platforms for decision making.

The Collective
We are a small team of urban professionals with a combined experience of more than 30 years. We have executed assignments of national and international repute, from tasks ranging from community engagement, planning, conservation, research, design, management to teaching college graduates. Though this only underlines what we have accomplished till date, we realize what we do 'today' matter even more.
Throw a challenge you may have for us, and we shall deliver!
