BikeSpot
Cycling safety evidence was scattered and hard for councils to act on.
A national map with 72,000+ public submissions that informed infrastructure and policy conversations.
About CrowdLab
Tools that work politically, publicly, and practically.
I'm Anthony Aisenberg, an urban planner and digital developer. Since 2012 I've built spatial tools used by councils, state agencies, and researchers across Australia.
CrowdLab is the studio behind that work: public tools you can use today, and custom builds when the free ones aren't enough, without hiring a full product team.

Why CrowdLab exists
Most spatial tools are built by software teams who don't sit in planning meetings, or by consultants who hand over a PDF and leave.
CrowdLab sits in the middle: planning literacy, product delivery, and public tools as proof of craft. The goal isn't more technology. It's clearer evidence for decisions that already have political weight.
Who this is for
If you need spatial evidence people can use, not another system nobody opens, you're in the right place.
Councils & agencies
Evidence for strategy, grants, and community engagement when internal capacity is thin.
Researchers
Spatial tools that collect and show data without a custom research-software build.
Advocates & NGOs
Public-facing maps and dashboards that make the case with clear, shareable evidence.
Product teams
A planner-builder studio when you need a spatial tool shipped in weeks, not a year.
How the studio works
A small, senior studio model: focused briefs, live public products, and delivery timelines that match grant and election cycles.
Planner + builder
Anthony brings urban planning and product delivery in one seat. Briefs stay grounded in how councils actually decide.
Public tools as proof
CrowdSpot, CrashDash, and Find my School are live. You can use them before you commission anything custom.
8–12 week builds
Discovery, co-design, and launch for scoped tools. Support after go-live when the work needs to keep evolving.
Selected outcomes
Real tools, real users. Each one started as a concrete problem for government or community.
