City Analytics
Citizens are generating masses of data on social media, voicing their opinions and sharing images of their neighbourhoods. Cities have many datasets, e.g., on public space, infrastructure and processes
Data scientists research how end users can gain new, valuable insights to improve city processes and neighbourhoods.
ADS researchers explore the boundaries of data gathering, storage, analytics and applications for cities – with an emphasis on generating valuable insights for both professionals working on city related projects and the citizens.
We work on data science projects with cities in the Netherlands – Amsterdam, Alkmaar, Eindhoven – and around the world – Beijing, New York, Singapore, Hong Kong.
