City Rhythm investigates social cohesion in selected Dutch cities. The project incorporated senior researchers, policy-makers and students in a series of cooperation, creation and planning exercises. Although citizens grow safer year by year, the perception in many Dutch neighborhoods is one of anxiety and the feeling is that the neighborhood is disorderly. The key to creating social cohesion involves creating shared experiences using rhythm. Investigations include six cases of social cohesion in neighborhoods. The cases are coupled with comprehensive analyses of urban populations using open administrative and microdata.
