About Cidadis
what we are
Cidadis was born from the drive and passion of three executives keen to transform cities and the future of urban populations, their problems and solutions. Building on over six years’ experience in the development and execution of strategic projects in Rio de Janeiro, a city with a history of issues and critical challenges for public administrators, these executives decided to form a company to fill a gap in the innovative provision of support for urban development.
How can cities be turned into dream places for their residents? How can they become sources of pride for the human interactions and citizen involvement they foster, places of wellbeing for all, where people can come and go freely and at ease, safe in the knowledge that their physical integrity and property are not at risk, while also enjoying a wide range of leisure and business opportunities?
To address these issues, Cidadis has built up an extensive and growing web of collaborators – specialists in every area of public services, public administrators and professionals who all share the desire to transform cities through strategic actions that add real value to the lives of their residents.
what we do
The focus of our work can be summed up in three words: Intelligence, Integration, and Innovation.
Intelligence – making intensive use of data and prospective information to develop reliable, realistic analyses and visions, while also crafting tailor-made solutions that yield the best possible results for citizens.
Integration – developing solutions that take all the components of services into account, such as strategies, people, processes, and infrastructure, to enable clear strategic alignment and avoid solutions that offer incomplete or unsustainable benefits.
Innovation – using the latest methods to develop forward-looking solutions that do not replicate the biases and inefficiencies of past practices, generating visions based on out-of-the-box thinking and attaining results that exceed expectations.
