About

Who we are

An independent, one-person studio building open urban data, based in Barcelona.

Baptiste Garro

Founder — Barcelona

I built and run Our City in Data independently, rather than as part of a large agency or a single-city contractor. That is what keeps the work affordable and keeps it from being scoped to a single tender — I build for the data, not for one client's deadline.

Where we sit

Based in Barcelona — a city that shows up in global rankings and case studies for urban innovation, from the superblocks programme to one of Europe's most studied cycling networks. That context is part of why the work happens here.

Home base

Barcelona

A global reference city for urbanism — dense, walkable, and closely watched by researchers and city planners worldwide.

Principles

Open data

Datasets are published openly, under a clear licence, with no account or paywall between the data and the people who need it.

Open source

The tools used to gather, clean and publish the data are built in the open wherever possible.

Transparent methodology

How each dataset is built, checked and updated is documented alongside it, not hidden behind the result.

Get in touch

Questions about the data, the methodology, or membership are all welcome.
