Planner / GIS & Economic Analyst - Urban3 (Asheville, NC or Portland, OR)

Who: Urban3 is a GeoAccounting consultancy based in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. We are leaders in visualizing economic productivity using 3D modeling software, as well as designers of infographics that communicate the financial impact of public policy and land use. Urban3’s pioneering economic visualization work has earned international recognition. At our core, we are data-driven storytellers.
Urban3’s visualizations are composed using local data, resulting in a snapshot of the fiscal health of a community. We think of it as our clients’ Economic MRI. The visuals not only reflect the fiscal potency of varying development patterns, but aid policy makers in delivering a clear and agnostic understanding of the economics of place. Our 3D images are a new way of seeing the world in which fiscal efficiency is immediately apparent.

What: You will work closely with our team of analysts, our principal and project manager on a variety of project types. We are small, fast-paced office — we look for people who are curious, engaged, ready for a challenge, and who have a great sense of humor. Recent projects include a city-wide economic analysis for the City of Minneapolis, a fiscal impact analysis for the City of South Bend, and an economic impact analysis for a new 115 acre development along Austin’s commuter rail line. We work closely with other urban designers, planners, real estate developers, architects and landscape architects.
