ABOUT
us

We’re public-policy nerds, recovering politicos, urban planners, startup advisors, community builders, parents, and unapologetic city girlies.

We’re obsessed with understanding how cities actually work — and more importantly, how they can work better: more welcoming, more functional, more joyful, more humane.

At City People, we believe great cities start with people. If you build with community at the center, the rest follows — mobility, housing, safety, culture, opportunity.

This is our lab, our love letter to cities, and our call to everyone who cares about where we live to help make them better.

Reach out.

Seriously — we want to hear from you. We live for it.
