Harnessing the power of decentralized technology and connected devices to rethink urban data governance. At Urban Geo Analytics, we explore and implement innovative frameworks that combine blockchain protocols with Internet of Things (IoT) devices to secure, validate, and decentralize the flow of spatial and urban data. From smart contracts to sensor integration, our aim is to help cities and institutions build trustworthy and transparent infrastructures for managing urban complexity.

What We Build

We develop open-source tools and systems to:

  • Integrate IoT and connected objects for real-time spatial data collection

  • Create decentralized urban data platforms based on blockchain interoperability

  • Deploy smart contracts for conditional data access, sharing, and traceability

  • Enable secure web-based interfaces for cities, researchers, and citizens to interact with blockchain-registered spatial datasets

Our approach is modular and technology-agnostic. Using lightweight protocols and established libraries, we integrate:

  • Sensor networks and IoT devices to collect live spatial or environmental data

  • Blockchain layers (e.g. Ethereum, Polygon) to notarize, timestamp, and trace geospatial data entries

  • Decentralized storage solutions (IPFS, Filecoin) for managing large datasets

  • Web dashboards and data APIs to make registered information accessible for end-users

Each system is customized for the client’s operational needs — whether it’s a municipality monitoring traffic sensors, or a research team validating field-collected geodata.

Use Cases

Here are some examples of how our blockchain and IoT capabilities can be applied:

  • Crowdsourced mapping with cryptographic validation

  • Traceable data pipelines in urban research (who collected what, when, and how)

  • Environmental sensing linked to urban infrastructure with blockchain timestamps

  • DAO-based urban experiments, including budget tracking or community voting tied to real-world assets

What You Get

With our IoT and blockchain packages, we deliver:

  • End-to-end consulting for use-case design and feasibility

  • Deployment of smart contracts and blockchain data registry

  • Open-source scripts and documentation

  • Optional training for teams and institutional partners

  • Secure hosting or deployment support on local/cloud infrastructure

Training & Technical Support

We offer dedicated workshops and mentoring sessions to support institutions, students, and public entities in:

  • Understanding blockchain logic in urban systems

  • Building prototypes using Web3, smart contracts, and IoT APIs

  • Exploring blockchain use in geospatial workflows

All workshops can be held online or in-person, and are tailored to your team’s technical background.

Creative Experiments: NFTs & the Urban Metaverse

We also experiment at the frontier between urban data and digital art. Our custom OnCyber metaverse showcases NFT collections linked to different blockchains, imagining how art, identity, and space can converge in virtual urban realms. These explorations open the door to new models of spatial storytelling, community co-creation, and tokenized participation in the digital city.
