SECTOR

Transport & Urban Development

Research, data and evaluation experience applied to real-world development challenges.

OUR EXPERIENCE

Research on how people, businesses and services move through cities.

PrimeMetrics brings research and field-management experience that can be applied to transport and urban development questions, particularly where mobility, livelihoods, public services and household economic activity intersect. The core team's broader research portfolio includes transport among the sectors in which it has coordinated studies.

Our strength is the ability to combine structured surveys with field observation, stakeholder interviews and data-quality systems. This is relevant for studies involving commuters, drivers, households, businesses, transport operators and urban communities.

For urban programmes, reliable evidence often depends on disciplined field operations. Sampling, location tracking, interviewer monitoring, daily quality checks and rapid feedback can make a significant difference to the usefulness of the final dataset.
