Your City Planner provides insights and advice on city development and operations to build better cities and challenge them to get to the next level. Our founder, Claudia Huerta, is dedicated to finding solutions to some of the most pressing urban development issues of our time.

She has learned the art of exuding SoCal vibes with New York City ambition and loves to explore cities and analyzing the impacts of urban development and transportation on economic access.
