About Diagonal:
We are a data science consultancy, powered by our software. Our products are built for data science in the urban environment, to help understand the consequences of changes to our cities’ systems. We specialise in understanding large data and sensitive data. Our products unlock creativity, progress and better decisions in urban planning.
How we work is important to us. We work to uphold the right to the city, and approach projects with openness and transparency. We are making our software open source because we believe it is important that planning decisions don’t happen in a black-box.
