Message from CEO

Welcome. I am Herin Ahn, CEO of KAIROS Urban Consulting.

Cities are living environments in which policy and place, people and culture continuously interact. Better cities require objective research and feasible policy, along with a sensitive understanding of human experience and local identity.

Drawing on experience in public administration and policy research, as well as an artistic perspective developed through exhibitions, I seek to examine urban challenges from multiple dimensions. KAIROS connects urban planning, public policy, public design and detailed design to provide solutions that can be implemented in practice.

We will be a responsible partner, discovering the potential of places and people and helping it become meaningful urban change.
