Data and the City
Urban research carried out largely for public administrations, in which the city is approached less as a fixed spatial form than as a field of activity open to empirical observation. Since 2015 this work has taken shape across thirty-four cities, principally through SPIN Unit in Helsinki and Tallinn, and in parallel at Digital City Science and the CityScienceLab of HafenCity University Hamburg, at the University of Alicante, and since 2023 within the Urban and Regional Solutions unit at MB3 Gestión.
The questions recur from one commission to the next. How much ground does a city concede to parking? Where do pedestrians actually go? How does shrinkage settle unevenly across a region, and are its services still within reach? Answering them means reading registry, telecom and crowd-sourced data through morphometric analysis, agent-based simulation and cartography, so that decisions rest on measured evidence rather than assumption.
