CivicMapper is a geospatial solutions provider that uses modern mapping technology for decision makers on the front lines of climate, infrastructure, and social equity. We develop geospatial data, build web-based analysis tools, and create spatially enabled software for many types of projects in the natural and built environments.
We specialize in map-based data, tools, and applications for climate change and stormwater. We gather data, create software tools, and develop web-based apps that help communicate essential information on climate and wet weather issues.
CivicMapper integrates infrastructure asset data with geo-enabled analysis tools that enable planners, engineers, and managers to make informed decisions on community and transportation development.
CivicMapper understands the dynamic between places, policy, and people, and we create analysis tools and platforms that help our clients gain new insights into these relationships.
At CivicMapper, we understand that the world is changing in ways we have never experienced before. We also believe that geospatial technology is an invaluable resource for improving understanding of our past, present, and future.
CivicMapper was formed in 2015 by founders with extensive backgrounds in the fields of urban planning, geospatial technology, and Earth science. Early in our careers, we witnessed the power that location-enabled data and technologies have for informing responsible decision making. We wanted to bring these resources to new markets and use them to solve increasingly complex problems in our natural and built environments.
As founders, we have the amazing opportunity and privilege to create a company that supports our ethos and provides great service to our customers. To that end, we are guided by five “I” values and aspire to meet them in our life and work:
We value honesty, communication, kindness, and respecting boundaries in our interactions.
We curiously seek out new ideas, tools, and technologies that will create the most useful, stable, and lasting solutions for our customers.
We pursue interests outside of work to gain experiences that will inform and enrich our lives.
We believe diversity is strength and we are mindful of the comfort and rights of others.
We participate in community building, connecting our networks, and growing professional relationships.
