For a greater urban proximity

LupLab is a non-profit association that turns territorial indicators into knowledge to help create more sustainable, people-centred cities.

LupLab offers an innovative digital solution that captures unique data on urban proximity in order to understand how territories function and support evidence-based policies.

LupLab contributes to addressing the major challenges faced by cities, promoting social justice, carbon neutrality and quality of life for populations.

We use artificial intelligence models and digital innovation to aggregate, produce and interpret spatial data.

We communicate data transparently and effectively, promoting consensus and decisions that have an impact on the territory.
