URBAN DATA CHALLENGE HAMBURG

How can cities share and govern data to become more democratic and sustainable?

The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg and THE NEW INSTITUTE made available exclusive and public mobility data as part of a competition of ideas and were looking for innovative concepts for gaining knowledge about cycling and micromobility flows in our city. The most convincing concept has win €40,000 for its implementation into an IT prototype - based on the provided data sets and in cooperation with the Hamburg Authority for Transport and Mobility Transition!


Congratulations again to the University of Bremen for winning the challenge!

RESOURCES

THE NEW INSTITUTE

THE NEW INSTITUTE is an experimental initiative aimed at developing social imaginaries for future societies. We combine academic rigour with innovative practice to inspire, promote and implement societal change. We try to close the gap between insight and action by bringing together academics from different disciplines with politicians, entrepreneurs, journalists, and artists.

We live and collaboratively work together in the Warburg Ensemble, which provides the conditions for rethinking conventional approaches to work. We host up to 35 fellows and build unlikely alliances.
