UrbanDataLab was motivated by a very personal experience: searching for the ideal place to live for the own family. Instead of using a zip code, I wanted to filter locations according to their conversion potential and the structure of the neighborhood and search specifically for specific situations in the neighborhood. I had to realize that there was no solution for this. As a techie of the ETH with appropriate knowhow about statistics and geodata, the first prototype was built, which allows a new form of interpretation and filtering of options. With the time it became obvious that this personal need is also relevant for companies and helps them to integrate the location into their business strategy - the foundation stone for UrbanDataLab was laid.

UrbanDataLab is a spin-off of ETH Zurich and is based on more than 15 years of experience in data-based analysis and modeling of spatial developments - both in practice and in research. Our goal is to make this knowledge easily accessible on a platform and thus enable users from different industries to make better and, above all, individual location decisions in the urban environment. We are convinced that we can help to use urban spaces more efficiently and, by capturing trends and needs of user groups, also create synergies - from residents, workers, planners and owners to commuters.

Although we share a vision, our network is interdisciplinary in nature from:

• Architecture/City Planning
• Real Estate
• Data Science
• Geo Science
• Software/IT
