We apply an AI content pipeline

Our crawlers traverse the web in search of potentially relevant urbanism content. Special attention is given to web-sites dedicated to cities or other urban topics.

All web-pages encountered by our crawlers are passed through a series of content classifiers that determine if they cover any of the multiple urban topics covered by our system.

The relevant web-pages are analyzed further, and we extract quotes that discuss urban interventions, their impact, other useful statistical information, as well the places to which the information refers.

Urbanixm helps those who make our cities a better place
