Cities Lab is a Bengaluru-headquartered traffic and transportation engineering consultancy focused on urban planning, road safety audits, research and infrastructure planning — working closely with state and local governments, urban local bodies, SEZs and public and private developers.
Long-standing working relationships with ULBs, smart-city SPVs and state agencies — from BBMP and ELCITA to Tumakuru and Davanagere.
One team across traffic engineering, urban & infrastructure planning, tourism planning and project management consultancy — from a single junction to a whole city.
The highest standards of integrity and professional accountability, with practical, data-driven solutions that deliver measurable value on the ground.
Every number below comes from live, delivered work — audits on the ground, DPRs approved, corridors studied. This is what evidence-based consulting looks like at city scale.
Whether it's a single junction or an entire city's mobility plan, we bring the same rigour: measure first, design with evidence, and deliver documents that get built.
The core of our practice. We measure how a city actually moves — then engineer the audits, plans and designs that make it move better, and safer.
From bus stations to city development plans, we design infrastructure that fits its context — and the institutional frameworks that keep it working.
Destinations need infrastructure too. We plan tourism systems that welcome visitors without overwhelming the places they come to see.
We stay on after the report — planning, supervising and steering execution so that what was designed is what gets built, on time and on budget.

Our process is a genuine sequence — each stage feeds the next, and nothing is designed before it's measured. Here's how an engagement with Cities Lab runs.
Start with a conversationWe understand the problem, the site and the stakeholders — and define exactly what the study must answer.
Traffic counts, DGPS and topographic surveys, ridership and parking studies — evidence collected on the ground.
Modelling, forecasting and engineering design turn raw data into options — and options into recommendations.
DPRs, drawings and audits ready for sanction — with PMC support through execution when you need it.
