Services

At Politas, we believe in the power of cities and special jurisdictions to pilot ideas that change the world. To that end, we offer a range of services, including policy analysis, legal framework development, and implementation strategies that empower societies to innovate and thrive.

We customize our work based on your project’s individual needs. So whether you need evaluation of a special economic zone (SEZ) law or a comprehensive legal framework and implementation strategy for a new autonomous city, we’ve done both and much more, and can provide the specialized skills needed to make your project a success.

Most of our services fall under three categories:
