The brief

Atlas gives city planners a way to run field research with residents: surveys, walks, photos and notes, all pinned to a map. The prototype worked, but nobody outside the founding team could use it.

The work

We rebuilt the product around the map as the single source of truth. A survey is a layer, a response is a point, and a finished study is a map you can hand to a council.

Built for the field

Forms work offline, buttons are sized for gloves, and everything syncs when the phone finds a signal again. The office view is the same map with analysis tools added.

Outcome

Atlas has been used for studies in nine cities, and the shared maps now appear in planning documents as the evidence itself.
