Founder of CityXcape an app dedicated to helping people find hidden gems. Urban exploration through technology and blockchain.
James Allan
CityXcape (pronounced cityscape), began in New York City. The idea sparked when its founder James felt trapped in a world of routine and corporatism. Desperately needing a way out, James began to urban explore.
After scouting a few neighborhoods, he found gem locations that people overlooked. These secret spots were pockets of fresh air. Places where you can be yourself and feel a sense of community. As James found more and more secret spots, he began to bring friends.
People liked the experience so much that they also began scouting. This grew into a habit where people share secret spots with each other to keep life fresh and anew- CityXcape.
