We are driven by our desire to make cities more inclusive, affordable, vibrant and connected.
UrbanSense is a global practice run by its two NYC-based principals -- Neysa Pranger and Manasvi Menon -- who together have over three decades of experience working for both public and private sector clients across the US and abroad.
Neysa and Manasvi met as founding members of the Connected Communities practice at Intersection, an Alphabet-backed technology and media company, where we saw an opportunity to bring our expertise in technology, mobility, and urban planning to a wide range of clients and sectors.
We bring a multidisciplinary approach to projects across sectors and verticals, including: government, airports, retail, mixed-use real estate, and transportation.
