2024 in numbers
What a year it's been at inCitu! This year we made great strides with our product, partnerships, and community growth while staying true to our mission to meet people where they are. In 2025, we are doubling down on our commitment to seamless urban AR experiences that foster impactful conversations and rebuild civic trust.
Key milestones from 2024:

The highlight of 2024 was undoubtedly the launch of inCituAR - our SaaS offering that empowers city builders to take AR creation into their own hands. This platform gives users unprecedented control to create and publish projects themselves, broadening use cases and significantly reducing friction.
190+ Projects published by inCituAR users 📍
We are thrilled to see inCitu projects in 23 countries, spanning every continent except Antarctica!

1st official on-site Planning signage incorporating AR 🚧
Radson Development is changing the way Bronx residents engage with affordable housing development through an innovative partnership with inCitu. Residents can now scan QR codes around the Wakefield Yards development site to visualize the future of Wakefield Yards and 241st St directly on their smartphones.
1st Ballot initiative informed by inCitu 🗳️
Our clients at Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) successfully passed a local funding measure for the LinkUS Transit Plan which was on the ballot in Central Ohio. Since the launch, more than 2,500 individuals interacted with the future plan on its actual site using inCitu!
1st Humanitarian AR use case 🏅
inCitu was named a top solution in the QBE AcceliCITY Resilience Challenge at the Humanitech Summit. We are seeing a growing understanding of how AR fosters collaboration, trust, and disaster resilience.
1st AR to IRL project 🤳🏽
Buffalo, NY, celebrated the completion of the Ralph Wilson Park Pedestrian Bridge over I-190. Thanks to inCitu, residents have been able to preview the bridge’s design in AR since 2022.
1st US RFP requiring AR as a public engagement method 📋
This year marked a milestone in setting up the standard on how to inform the public in large planning initiatives. We were excited to see an explicit requirement in NYCEDC’s on call RFP for Urban Planning and Design Consultant Services, to use Augmented Reality visualization as an integral part of the community engagement efforts. inCitu was honored to be included in no less than four (4) responses, submitted by the leading Urban Design and Planning firms in the Country.
6 Guided tours and in-person events held 🚶🏽
inCitu is always on the ground with community events in our backyard that show the potential of AR engagement. We held tours this year in Brooklyn and Manhattan for events including Janes Walk 2024, NYCxDesign, and Esri’s AEC Seminar. We hope you will join us for a group walk in the future again in 2025!

26 Conferences attended 🤝
We traveled the world this year, going on site to 11 cities, as far as Barcelona, Spain, and Melbourne, Australia. At Esri UC in San Diego, we felt our user community grow as we ran into multiple inCitu users and past clients presenting their work to the conference and exchanging tips. Heading outside the US was inspiring, as we met cities on the forefront of bringing their planning processes and building permits into 3D, a step further on the way to our north star: a comprehensive AR layer of future city development.
The team at inCitu wishes happy holidays and a happy new year to you and your loved ones. Here’s to a wonderful 2025! 🥂
