Nobody has the whole picture.
Your data lives in spreadsheets, intake forms, and institutional memory.
There's no single view of who you serve, where they are, or who you're missing.
Reporting to funders and stakeholders means rebuilding the picture every time.
One directory, kept current by the people who know best.
A public map anyone can use, a private dashboard only your team can touch, and a clear line between the two.
Live interactive map
Every business, mural, or vacant lot you track, located and categorized on one map. Filter by type or category, search by name, and see your coverage at a glance.
Public submission form
Businesses submit and update their own listing: hours, contact, category, photos. The people closest to the data do the data entry, so your team stops chasing it.
Admin review dashboard
Approve, edit, or decline every submission from your dashboard. Nothing reaches your public map without someone on your team saying yes.
Embeddable widget
Drop the map straight into your existing website with one line of code. It stays in sync with your dashboard, so you update once and it updates everywhere.
Reporting and analytics
See your total listings and category breakdown at a glance, ready to hand to a board or a funder, without rebuilding it by hand.
Track more than businesses.
Businesses, murals, public art, vacant properties, parks, historic sites: if it matters to your organization, you can map it. Define your own asset types and fields, no code required.
Businesses
Storefronts, offices, and services across your district.
Murals and public art
Works, artists, and locations, credited and mapped.
Vacant properties
Track availability and turnover across your district.
Parks and amenities
Green space, seating, and public infrastructure.
Historic sites and landmarks
Designated buildings, plaques, and places of interest.
Events
Markets, festivals, and programming, placed on the map.
These are examples, not a fixed list. You decide what an asset type is called, which fields it carries, and how it appears on the map, and you can run several types side by side in the same directory.
Enter it once. It shows up everywhere it should.
A listing is a single record in your dashboard. The map pin, the directory entry, the filters, your embeds, and your reporting are all derived from it, so there is nothing to keep in sync by hand.

A pin on the map
The address is geocoded into coordinates, so the listing places itself. Nobody on your team has to look up a latitude and longitude, or move anything into position by hand.
A directory entry
The same record renders as a searchable listing page, so people who want a list instead of a map get one, with the same information.
Filters people can use
Categories and statuses become the filter controls on your map. Add a category once and it is immediately something visitors can filter by.
Every embed you have placed
Any map embedded on your own site, or a partner site, reads from the same record. Update it here and it changes everywhere at once.
Your counts and exports
Reporting reads the same records the public map does, so the numbers you hand a board and the map they can go look at can never disagree.
And the side only your team sees.
Submissions land in a queue, not on your map. You approve, edit, or decline each one, and only then does it go public.

Publish
Everything in one list
Businesses, submissions, categories, and events, all in the same place. No separate spreadsheet to reconcile.
Status at a glance
Published, awaiting review, or draft. You can see what needs attention without opening anything.
Nothing publishes itself
A record only reaches the public map when someone on your team hits publish.
One map. Four sites. Already running in Ottawa.
OTTAWALLS.art is a public, map-based archive of Ottawa’s street art, built and run by Malovey Labs, the team behind Urban Index. The map you can see here is not a mockup. It is the live archive, embedded with the same widget Urban Index gives you, and running on four different websites at once. One update, and every one of them changes.
Ottawalls is Urban Index tracking a single asset type, public art, at scale. Your organization can run as many types as it needs from the same dashboard.

The questions that come up first.
No. They fill in a public form: no login to issue, no password to reset. The submission lands in your dashboard for review, and you decide what publishes.
Yes. Every listing carries a category, and visitors can narrow the map to just what they want: food and drink, retail, services, whatever set you define. You can also embed a pre-filtered view, so a page about your restaurant scene shows only restaurants while your main directory still shows everything.
Yes. The map and directory embed into any site with a single line of code, and stay in sync with your dashboard. You can also run it on your own domain or subdomain.
You do. Every submission and edit waits for review before it appears, and your team decides what publishes. Nothing goes live on its own.
It stays yours. You can export the full directory (listings, categories, locations, and history) at any time, in a standard format.
Most organizations are live in a couple of weeks. We import whatever you already have, whether that is a spreadsheet, a CSV, or an existing list, then configure your categories and map area before launch.

Tell us what you’re responsible for and we’ll show you what it looks like in Urban Index, with your categories, your geography, and your data.
