Amsterdam Sounds
This evening is part of the Amsterdam Sounds project, a platform for sensing sound pollution in Amsterdam. Through several pilots, citizen measurements and events we will research sound pollution in different locations in the city. We collect data together with citizens using experimental sensor technology. By collecting the data together and creating a shared reality, we want to explore and design new solutions. This approach is called Citizen Sensing. Thanks to this new methodology citizens, entrepreneurs, experts and policy makers can cooperate on this topic in a new way.
Amsterdam Sounds is a project by Waag, Municipality of Amsterdam, Ombudsman Metropole Region Amsterdam, Sensemakers Amsterdam and Sensing Clues.
