Case Study: PlaceWorks achieves major cost savings and faster analysis with UrbanFootprint

PlaceWorks Discovers Millions in Untapped Insight with UrbanFootprint

PlaceWorks, a planning, design, and environmental firm, needed a faster and more cost-effective way to handle due diligence, research, and analysis. Their team was bogged down by costly data acquisition and the challenge of working with large, disparate datasets across local and regional scales, so they turned to UrbanFootprint.

With UrbanFootprint’s data discovery and acquisition platform, PlaceWorks was able to streamline analysis, improve insight, and focus more on scenario modeling and alternatives analysis. The tool helped the firm identify major savings, including avoiding a planned $3 million fire station and millions more in ongoing costs, plus hundreds of millions in projected road costs over 20+ years. UrbanFootprint also helped PlaceWorks win the Fountain Valley General Plan Update by supporting a parcel-specific feasibility analysis.
