Citycentric

Citycentric is the independent practice of Claus Rabe, a culmination of two decades of applied urban economics work across scale and context. Citycentric exists for a single purpose: to give decision-makers clearer, evidence-led insight into how precincts, cities and regions function, and the tools to effect change over time. Analysis is grounded in the real behaviour of households, firms, and public sector institutions, and the markets through which they interact. By harnessing and triangulating administrative, remote sensing, and third-party data, Claus builds bespoke but tractable models that illuminate causal mechanisms, spatial dynamics and the trade-offs that shape long-term outcomes in land, housing, transport and labour markets. By integrating spatial and economic processes, Citycentric supports planning, investment and policy decisions with analysis that is rigorous, transparent and directly tied to the practical choices facing public and private actors.
