Urban IQ was established in 2006 by its founder Kestell Serfontein,  following a successful 15 year career as a Professional Planner where he amongst other held the positions  Manager Metropolitan Planning and Deputy Manager Industry and Technology  Development in the City of Tshwane. During the last 15 years, Urban IQ has emerged as a Strategic Urban Planning consultancy that focuses on the tactical interface primarily between  local government and the private sector.

With a particular aptitude to insightfulness and adeptness in long-range strategic thinking, Urban IQ has developed a proficiency in urban regeneration, metropolitan restructuring, spatial planning, property development and conceptualisation of innovative development opportunities.

By leveraging its distinct interest in city branding and broad knowledge of marketing and advertising, Urban IQ has  become an expert planning consultancy in the outdoor advertising field.
