URBAN DATA CHALLENGE HAMBURG
Why Data?
Data is a critical urban infrastructure – it leads to better public decision-making with regards to infrastructure planning, delivering services, updating and monitoring regulation which serves the interests of the citizens.
Which Data?
The available public data is not sufficient – a collaboration with the private sector is crucial and allows innovative companies and startups to develop new services to tackle the biggest environmental and urban challenges.
Whose Data?
Micromobility is a rich data ecosystem – there need to be practices and blueprints to enable and encourage data sharing between the private and the public sector to make a city like Hamburg greener and more sustainable.
The New Hanse
In collaboration with the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, The New Hanse explores the potential of data sharing and data democracy: Pilot projects address real world challenges, starting from mobility and its net-zero goals and developing blueprints for other European cities for the governance of data and the digital transition for the public interest.

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.
