CityTools offers, within its project teams, an innovative and multidisciplinary approach: town planning, sociology, geography and environment are integrated into the analysis and the creative approach of urban design, in order to offer solutions adapted to local realities: masterplanning, territorial analysis, environmental study, social diagnosis, financial and operational arrangements, etc.

CityTools' urban approach is built on a collective field process. We offer a series of tools allowing projects to be discussed with the actors in a territory, at each stage: defining competition specifications, mobilising actors, walking diagnosis, discussion forums, virtual participation and webinars, online surveys, participatory workshops, tests in the field, etc.

CityTools assists project owners and project managers: civil servants, administrators, property developers, architects or town planners in charge of an urban project. CityTools puts its experience at the service of all stages of a project: prospective studies, feasibility, programming, town planning and environmental regulations, specifications, etc.

CityTools considers itself to play a role in cultural reflection on town planning, architecture and the city in general. This dimension is built at the start of our practice, or through our involvement in various associative, social, or cultural projects: interviews, exhibitions, thematic visits and study trips, implementation of innovative projects, temporary occupations, prefigurations, etc.
