About

In Spaces Studio is an independent civic research, urban systems, and media studio practice focused on the future of urban systems, founded by Gibson Chu.

We study how cities govern, build, communicate, and adapt — and how infrastructure, technology, policy, and public storytelling shape everyday urban life. Our work focuses on the intersection of infrastructure, mobility, housing, climate resilience, public space, and civic technology.

We translate these complex urban systems into practical ideas that institutions and communities can act on. This spans into research reports, policy, strategy, documentaries, podcasts, essays, and pilot initiatives that help organizations move ideas from concept to implementation. Current projects include Cities Rewired, a media platform exploring urban technology and governance, alongside advisory and research work related to mobility systems, public infrastructure, and civic innovation.
