City Layers

City Layers makes it effortless to involve communities in urban design, planning, and strategy. Our digital mapping tools measure how places work for people — and turn that input into actionable place intelligence. Putting people's knowledge on the map, City Layers transforms how cities and built environment professionals understand places and design with communities. Built on years of participatory research and over 10 urban mapping projects across Europe, City Layers bridges the gap between community knowledge and urban decision-making. With us, lived experience becomes measurable evidence, helping cities, planners, and architects shape more climate-resilient and socially responsible places – together with people.
