Location data solutions for urban planning

Leverage Quadrant’s mobile location data to study mobility patterns in cities and towns to build better infrastructure and maximise the usage and ROI of public services. 

Location data for urban planning

Urban planners, researchers and local governments use location data to generate insights into patterns of place use and movement trends. They study local audiences to help customers understand their community to uncover commercial potential, highlight spatial activity, discover the magnetism of places and maximise the utilisation of public infrastructure and amenities.

Urban planning companies need expansive coverage of location data to support their analysis. Their goal is to use mobile location data to identify busy spaces in the city, and improve the infrastructure, accessibility, and public safety of those spaces. Companies also use location data to build traffic and movement simulations to plan and expand public facilities. Location data can deliver insights with levels of accuracy previously only achievable through the deployment of costly sensors and manual survey methods which are time consuming.

Use-cases and applications

Location data can provide insight into mobility patterns around specific spaces and help understand people's interactions and relationships with them. This can help improve the state of public infrastructure, and maximise ROI of government investments.
