Centre for Urban Innovation (Trading as NEON.URBAN)

NEON.URBAN helps organisations navigate the complex intersections of digital technology with urban planning, growth, sustainability and the built environment.

We provide stakeholder engagement, independent peer review, advisory and advocacy services, along with thought leadership that supports responsible innovation.

We build practical capability in artificial intelligence (AI) for the built environment.

Working with government, industry and research partners, we demystify AI and identify where it can create real value across planning, design, development and infrastructure operations.

Our services include:

• advisory and strategy development
• ecosystem mapping
• readiness assessments
• pilot support.

We help organisations move from curiosity to capability.

Our approach is grounded in deep domain knowledge, ensuring AI solutions align with planning policy, governance systems and project delivery realities. We also support the co-design of responsible AI frameworks - including disclosure, transparency and assurance tools to build public trust and organisational confidence.

Whether you're exploring AI-enabled planning approvals, predictive asset management, generative design or digital twins powered by machine learning, NEON.URBAN brings the insights, networks and strategy to accelerate your journey and unlock new ways of working that are ethical, effective and future-ready.
