Brene Brown said famously that data is a story with soul. And our next guest is a Proptech founder working to put the soul into the development of new communities through the smart use of data.
Jessica Christiansen-Franks is the co-founder and CEO of Neighbourlytics, a data company that specialises in helping developers understand what makes communities genuinely tick.
From online restaurant reviews to event check-ins, the Neighbourlytics technology synthesises data from digital sources to see places through the eyes of local residents - helping citymakers understand, measure and monitor social wellbeing in the places they create and manage.
Jess co-founded Neighbourlytics in 2017, as digital transformation was starting to shape the future of citymaking and urban design and Neighbourlytics is now used by the majority of Australia’s leading property developers, asset managers, and urban planners to create better, connected neighbourhoods.
The ground-breaking technology was a multiple award winner at the Proptech Awards and has scaled rapidly, providing data and insights today for more than 2000 neighbourhoods across 12 countries.
