The Thames Estuary represents one of the UK’s most significant growth opportunities, engaging over 18 local authorities across London, Kent and Essex, covering a diverse landscape of urban, industrial, and natural environments that require collaborative approaches to achieve regenerating growth.

This all-in-one platform uses satellites and GeoAI to shape healthy, thriving places quickly and responsibly. By using this tool, planners can make wise decisions faster, ensuring developments improve the health of people and the environment.
Regeneration is not happening in isolation. Regeneration is happening by unifying Expertise, Engagement and Evolving Plans. The Thames Estuary Growth Board is a strong regional partner unlocking the millions of houses and jobs people deserve, in a challenging time they need them the most.
Urb. Silviu Pirvu FRSA, Co-Founder & CTO Optimal Cities
We’re excited to work with Optimal Cities to push forward a more intelligent, connected approach to planning. Their platform gives us the tools to understand places as they are now, and design places as they should be: places that work for communities, deliver fair economic growth, and respect the environment. This partnership helps us get there faster, and with greater confidence.
