With residents, civil servants and creative industries participating, physical and data rhythms are analyzed and designed in Amsterdam Zuidoost. The research group aims to work with several data sources and analytical methods, and to make bridges with ethnographic research techniques, in order to better recognize, represent and approach the multiple layered experiences in cities. The consortium engages the University of Amsterdam, Delft University of Technology, Amsterdam Zuidoost City Borough (Stadsdeel Zuidoost), and Amsterdam Statistics Bureau (OIS). The international data partner is Habidatum. A special online platform supports the research.
