What is Urban Technology?
The view from our F25 visit to JPMorganChase's new HQ in NYC!
Urban Technology is technology that spans the digital and physical worlds. Think of platforms like Uber, Google Maps, and Airbnb; and industries like real estate, mobility, and energy.
At URB Consulting, we do interdisciplinary projects for urban technology companies and institutions. These projects, which span strategy, software engineering, policy research, UX design, and more, give you the opportunity to provide real business value while developing a wide variety of skills that will help you launch your career.

Where we've been
Hear from our members
URB gave me the confidence to lead a team of people with completely different strengths and approaches, and to genuinely value what each of them brought to the table. That independence carried straight into my first internship, where I could take ownership of my work from day one. Beyond the resume line, URB gave me a community I still lean on for everything from career advice to dinner plans.

URB's culture of kindness paired with high expectations makes it the best filter for meeting genuinely interesting, capable people. Some of my closest friends at Michigan came from my project team. Analyst development reshaped how I think about professionalism, from resume building to communication skills, while connecting me with people in my major who could help with coursework. Joining URB has been nothing but a win.
