Aretian featured in a new documentary by the ICE and St James’s House about City Design, watch it!

Aretian Urban Analytics and Design was featured in the presentation at Saint James’s House titled “The Future of Engineering”. This presentation was organized in partnership with the British Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). During this event at the ICE headquarters in London a documentary featuring Aretian was aired presenting advanced trends in urban design and civil engineering worldwide. Specifically, Aretian was featured in the documentary Putting the Smart into Cities (you can watch it HERE), a 45-minute movie depicting the efforts led by different industry leaders such as Autodesk, ESRI, and Skanska, among others, in order to contribute to a better understanding of urbanism and an improvement of the way cities are organized and managed.

Saint James’s House also published a short video about Aretian Urban Analytics and Design featuring Ramon Gras Alomà and Jeremy Burke, the Aretian co-founders, as well as a dedicated page on their website about the company that you can access HERE.

This short video depicts the beginnings of Aretian, which was created after Ramon and Jeremy finished their joint thesis at Harvard University. It also showcases Aretian’s capabilities in urbanism, based on the novel City Science it has been developing over the past few years and describes Aretian’s most recent achievement, its new book titled “City Science: Performance Follows Form”.
