Summary
Dana Chermesh-reshef is an architect-turned-urban-data entrepreneur with eight years of experience designing infill development and translating complex planning data into accessible tools. As founder and CEO of inCitu, she combines AR, big-data analytics, and design to democratize planning information and foster collaborative urban change, work that was incubated through Schmidt Futures’ EIR program. An NYU CUSP alum with a background in Tel Aviv’s fast-paced development scene, she builds pragmatic, data-driven methods to quantify urban density, market behavior, resilience, and spatial justice for planners, policymakers and the public. Her approach blends hands-on architectural practice—where she established a zoning division and evaluated hundreds of renewal sites—with technical workflows and open, mobile-first experiences that lower barriers to participation in city decision-making.
