Dashi

Dashi is a digital platform that turns complex, siloed urban planning data into a collaborative decision-making environment, helping city changemakers plan for decarbonization, capital investment, and long-term sustainability.

A complex project takes years to realize, and is made up of many intricately linked steps. Dashi keeps track of the complex data,  such as time, cost, and progress, for each step. It allows our design teams and clients to visualize this data in one place, prioritize and test different implementation pathways, and see the impact in real time. By delivering a project as “living data” through Dashi, rather than a static product, Dashi helps to track and implement projects with greater clarity, ease, and flexibility. 

What makes Dashi unique is its combination of:

  • Human-centered data design that supports communication and consensus-building across disciplines;
  • Scenario planning tools that integrate emissions, cost, and time into strategic tradeoff modeling;
  • A flexible data model adaptable across contexts—from citywide park systems to university decarbonization roadmaps.

Dashi wasn’t built in a lab. It emerged from real-world planning work where decisions must be made amid complexity, urgency, and limited resources. Today, it’s supporting multimillion-dollar planning efforts—helping institutions cut through complexity and take bold, data-informed steps toward net-zero futures.
