About Metacity Metacity is an interdisciplinary, research-based planning, urban design, architecture and design firm established in 2015 and based out of 3 cities- Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. Founded on the belief that breakthrough ideas emerge from understanding the needs of the people and communities we serve, we aim in delivering design solutions that are informed, purposeful, innovative and compelling. Our commitment to research provides a way for deep investigation to be conducted during design and for the results to stimulate and augment the processes of designing and building. Our practice is about constantly exploring, learning, experimenting and testing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all the way from concept through occupancy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to comprehensively target and achieve better outcomes through design. We focus on meaningful metrics that balance empathy with technology and address wellbeing for the individual, the organization and the larger eco-system we live in.
