About

Urbi Atlas

Home

Using Urbi data and geo-platform, we create striking visuals, detailed maps, and sharp analytics to track emerging trends in urban sustainability. The Urbi Atlas, founded in 2024, investigates how cities grow, how transport can cut emissions, how shade and trees reduce heat, and how smart lighting reshapes energy use.

We support cities, businesses, and decision-makers in the Middle East and beyond as they work towards climate goals, net-zero targets, and more liveable urban environments. By translating complex datasets into clear and compelling insights, we help align urban development with national strategies and long-term visions — including the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategy, the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. The Urbi Atlas provides a data-backed view of urban change in the region, supporting better planning, policy, and investment.
