Product Overview
Inhabit Place helps clients create better places by understanding how public spaces are truly used. The Snowflake product is a curated listing of public place observation data designed for planning, design, benchmarking, monitoring, evaluation, and investment decision-making.
The product combines the same architecture framing used across the platform and listing:
- site metadata
- audit metadata
- movement counts, mode, age and demographic
- dwell, time spent, behaviour, posture, age and demographic
- trace paths
- inventory and facade, quantity and quality
- photography, spatial changes and points of interest
- intercept, age and demographic, standardised questionnaire capturing sentiment, behaviour and needs
- observations, spatial changes and site insight
