A full-page spotlight on Yourban and the city of Athis-Mons

In its June 2025 issue, Smart City Mag highlights the pioneering approach of Yourban, a Search & Demand Intelligence solution for local authorities and territories. The article dedicates a full page to the work carried out in Athis-Mons (91), where the municipality relies on Yourban’s AI to analyze residents’ needs and guide local decision-making.

Understanding local demand through Demand Intelligence

Faced with multi-polarized commerce and proximity to Orly Airport, the City of Athis-Mons wanted to refocus its strategy on local needs: retail, health, and sports. With Yourban’s data-driven insights, the city identified weak signals revealing strong demand for rheumatology services and tennis facilities.

“Yourban allows us to access this information and objectify residents’ needs,” explains Lucille Jaouen, Head of Commerce in Athis-Mons.
“For example, demand for tennis and rheumatologists came out strongly, even though we hadn’t identified it as a priority.”

These insights directly shaped the planning of a new health center and a sports facility, aligning projects with the community’s real expectations.

Clear, actionable insights for local leaders

In the same article, Amélie Jariel, CEO of Yourban, explains:

“Our goal is to give elected officials a neighborhood-scale vision of what residents truly need. We help municipalities quickly implement services where gaps have been identified.”

This approach transforms the way local public policies are planned. No more blind decisions—Yourban provides concrete, localized, and actionable data to design places and services that genuinely meet demand. It also helps public consultation teams ask sharper, more relevant questions during surveys.

AI as a catalyst for territorial transformation

Here, artificial intelligence is not just about performance—it acts as a catalyst for urban transformation, fostering proximity, impact, and active listening. With Yourban, local authorities gain a strategic tool to:

• Identify and measure local demand with precision,
• Anticipate emerging needs,
• Guide public investments in the right place at the right time.
