We help put urban tech in context.

Star City Group specializes in helping cities, organizations, and companies navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of urban technology. Through foresight studies, strategic advising, policy development, and practical planning, we bridge the gap between emerging technologies and real-world urban challenges.

Our Areas of Focus

• Smart Cities & Urban Innovation - We've been at the forefront of the smart cities movement since its inception, helping organizations navigate from top-down efficiency-oriented approaches to more democratic, inclusive models.
• Mobility Futures - From autonomous vehicles to public transit innovations, we explore how transportation technology transforms urban movement of people and goods.
• Urban Data & Analytics - We help cities harness the power of data for decision-making, developing maturity models and frameworks for ethical data governance.
• Resilience & Adaptation - Our work addresses how cities can leverage technology to face climate change, pandemics, and other challenges through adaptive strategies.
• Digital Infrastructure - We guide municipal governments in developing robust digital infrastructure that supports innovation and improves service delivery.

Our Approach

• We are ethical. We put people before profits. That isn't always easy, and sometimes means we lose business. But we'll try to change your point of view first.
• We don't just talk. We are buildings who code, design space, prototype hardware, write charters, and deploy networks.
• We are a dynamic team. We gather the right team for every project. Our collaborators hail from diverse geographies and disciplines.
• We focus on you. We typically only take on a single project at a time. That means if we're working with you, we're focused exclusively on you.
