Bio
I am Gregorio Maya, City Science Coordinator at the Norman Foster Institute and a freelance consultant for various NGOs. My focus lies in data-driven analysis of urban environments, particularly through applied research in health and technology integration within public policy for urban planning. Trained as an architect with a Summa Cum Laude degree, I have transitioned from traditional design to consulting on modeling complex systems within the built environment.
In my current role, I co-lecture in Urban Analytics and lead the technical development of sustainability tools for cities. My recent work includes collaborating with municipalities to shape and implement Climate Action Plans (CAP), aligning urban growth with climate resilience. As a Tableau-certified analyst proficient in open-source tools like Python, QGIS, and PostgreSQL, I contribute to developing solutions that integrate data science, urban design, and sustainability.
In parallel, I consult for NGOs, providing data insights and visualizations that support impactful development across various sectors.
I maintain academic ties with my alma maters, The Bartlett-UCL (UK) and Universidad de los Andes (COL), and collaborate closely with professors at MIT - Media Lab (USA), UAM (ES), and UCA Canterbury (UK), among many others.
