SuperUrbanity

What SuperUrbanity does

SuperUrbanity is a Bergamo-headquartered private urban technology consultancy serving Italian public administrations, territorial organizations, and private enterprises operating on cities and territories. The firm combines professional advisory services (urban analysis, strategy, planning, stakeholder engagement, capacity building, foresight) with a proprietary software ecosystem branded ForImpact, which includes governance and climate action software (ForImpact.AI), a civic communication platform (Civicall.AI), a participatory co-design platform (Urban Canva.AI), and specialized modules for cultural heritage (ForImpact Culture) and renewable energy communities (ForImpact Climate CACER plugin). Underlying technology integrates GIS, data analytics, AI/ML capabilities (knowledge retrieval, NLP, predictive analytics, generative AI for accessibility), digital twins, and interactive web applications, with an explicit AI ethics framework grounded in accessibility, transparency, and accuracy.

The company monetizes through multi-month consulting engagements and project-based technology implementations for municipalities (Bergamo, Parma, Padova, Brindisi, Sangano), regional bodies (Regione Lombardia, Toscana Promozione Turistica, Visit Piemonte, Liguria Digitale), national ministries (MASE), energy utilities (Axpo, Pulsee, E.ON, Sorgenia), and EU programme consortia (NetZeroCities, Horizon Europe). Distribution relies on direct enterprise sales to public-sector technical offices and mayors, public procurement, and structured entry through EU-funded and PNRR-linked programmes. Notable deployed platforms include the national RiforestAzione reforestation portal covering 4.5 million trees across 180 municipalities and the ForImpact governance dashboards for three Italian NetZeroCities. Operations are led by CEO Rodolfo Pinto with a multidisciplinary team of approximately 11 core and guest members spanning AI engineering, software development, service design, urban sociology, and AI ethics research. The firm has no disclosed external funding and operates from offices in Bergamo (Via San Bernardino 28) and Rome (Via Sallustiana 15).
