Vertical · Local government
Your teams take decisions that shape the territory for years (high street revival, mobility, climate and energy plans, land take, utility networks), often without a fine-grained reading of the ground. GeoQriosity produces clear map diagnostics and bespoke WebGIS for people who are not GIS specialists, built on public data that already exists.
The observation
Decisions that shape the territory, taken without evidence at the right scale. General impressions stand in for analysis, while the data already exists.
QGIS and ArcGIS need a GIS specialist. A PDF delivered once does not let you follow change over time. What is missing is a simple, maintained tool that staff can actually use.
A conventional GIS tender takes several months and often lands an oversized tool, with 50,000 layers and functions nobody uses day to day.
What GeoQriosity offers
01 · Territorial diagnostics
One theme, one perimeter, one map and one note for elected officials and staff.
02 · WebGIS and working tools
A tool that stays, usable by staff with no GIS skills.
Wired into your existing software, permissions by role, onboarding included.
03 · Data foundation and governance
Your public and internal data brought together, documented and automated in PostgreSQL and PostGIS, plus client-side support for your GIS specifications.
Work delivered
A combined authority in the Paris region
A map interface plugged into the planning application software, usable by staff with no GIS training.
A municipality in the Paris region
Tracking territorial indicators over time, built for users in the municipal services who are not GIS specialists.
An urban community
Spatial analysis to improve urban transport routes and frequencies.
Lyon
The balance of shop openings and closures since 2022, by 150 m blocks and by street segment. A format that surfaces the micro-areas to deal with first.
Themes covered
SIRENE + DVF + fieldwork. Identifying the streets that are slipping, the signs of vacancy, the areas to target first.
Walking, cycling and public transport isochrones, poorly served areas, reachable facilities. Prioritising road investment.
Consumption by neighbourhood, energy vulnerability, renewable potential, heat networks.
France’s net zero land take policy: brownfield sites, densification potential, historic soil sealing, support for revising the local plan.
Water, wastewater, roads. A management WebGIS wired into the software you already run.
A permanent dashboard: population, employment, housing, facilities. Ready to present to the governing council.
French regulatory obligations on land take and local climate plans change regularly: the framing of every diagnostic includes a check of the most up-to-date rules applying to your territory.
Why GeoQriosity
Fifteen years working for public authorities, ten of them in post as head of the territorial observatory of an urban community, five on assignment with GeoQriosity: investment decisions worth tens of millions in housing, mobility and planning, informed by multi-source territorial analysis.
I turn geospatial complexity into clear priorities for non-technical decision-makers, whether they sit in a scaling startup or in a council chamber.
Engagement formats
An inventory of the data available and of the gaps, three priority use cases ranked, a summary note with an effort estimate.
Two maps: the balance of openings and closures by 150 m blocks, and closure density by street segment. A summary note, three priority streets with the reasoning, data delivered as GeoJSON.
A documented data foundation, a WebGIS to consult and, where needed, to edit, usable without GIS skills, dashboards set to your priorities, two half-days of training, handover documentation.
Set up on your own infrastructure or on a public cloud; hosting and maintenance priced separately.
Hosting and maintenance outside the package, no licence bought or passed on, no Esri migration.
Other formats exist for a public authority: a data foundation, an end-of-phase review, a delivered platform. See the full catalogue →
