13. REFLECTION
Previous examples and more
Capturing the dynamics (pulse) of the city
Improved understanding 
METROPOLITAN SOLUTIONS

14. ADVANCED METROPOLITAN SOLUTIONS
Investigate the interaction and interference of
processes and domains.
e.g. Energy- Water- Housing
Advanced (spatial-temporal) data collection,
analysis and visualisation and method
development play an enabling role.

15. DATA PLATFORM

16. The investigation of processes in the city and the
resulting understanding is key in the design of
metropolitan solutions.
Advanced (spatial-temporal) data collection,
analysis and visualisation play an enabling role.
