What sets Curbcut apart?

Curbcut stands out through the combination of cutting-edge technology and expertise in urban data analysis. Our approach is not to just display or provide information, but to integrate, analyze, and visualize complex data, making them actionable. Led by experts in urban planning, spatial analysis, and data science, Curbcut ensures that the insights you receive are both technically rigorous and socially responsible.

What are Curbcut's data ethics?

At Curbcut, data is at the core of everything we do–but we also recognize its limitations. We acknowledge that data can be incomplete, fragmented, or shaped by the way it is collected. For example, data sources like the Canadian census provide snapshots rather than continuous information, which can lead to the over- or underrepresentation of certain groups.

That’s why we take a critical approach to data - questioning methodologies, identifying gaps, and ensuring that our analyses don’t reinforce inequalities or omissions. Our goal is to provide transparent, context-aware information that empowers decision-making.

Why trust Curbcut?

Curbcut was developed by experts and incubated at McGill University. After a five-year validation period, our technology was introduced to the public - ensuring accuracy and reliability. This commitment to high academic standards remains at the heart of Curbcut, shaping both our technology and consulting approach.
