Litter, asset management, nuisance reduction and neighborhood developments are among the most important developments to make Amsterdam an even more livable city.
Image recognition has huge potential to steer urban development in the right direction. Did you know that the whole city of Amsterdam is openly available as high-resolution panoramic images? This has inspired some companies to improve their own <A HREF="https://blog.mapillary.com/community/2017/06/28/amsterdam-in-360-from-imagery-to-map-data-in-seven-days.html" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">image recognition tools</A>. The opportunities are endless. In the US for example, researchers have tracked <A HREF="https://medium.com/@violet.whitney/catching-patterns-of-increased-difference-gentrification-and-degradation-cb5af6782302" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">gentrification</A>. In this hackathon, we aim to explore image recognition techniques, in order to track urban developments the city government should respond to. We will focus on four developments.

<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">Citizen reporting (<A HREF="https://www.amsterdam.nl/wonen-leefomgeving/melding-openbare/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">meldingen</A>)</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">Asset management</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">Law enforcement (from advertising taxes to hospitality nuisance)</LI>

During this two day hackathon, Policy experts from Amsterdam local government will explain these challenges in more detail. We will use open data of the <A HREF="https://data.amsterdam.nl/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">city of Amsterdam </A>and other available open data. We aim to get insights so Amsterdam can grow to become a more responsive city. Image recognition is used to spot what the local government should do to make Amsterdam’s residents happier.
The first day, we start at 8:45 and end at 18. The second day we start at 8:45 again and end hacking at 16. Then you can prepare for the final pitch for the jury. The program ends at 18 on Friday.
