City Map
Facilities, amenities and infrastructure
A solid infrastructure for street sports and culture lays the foundation for creative development, diverse programming, and increased participation in (urban) sports and culture. With the City Map, we provide a clear overview of all relevant facilities. In addition, each facility is assessed using the USI model (Renard & Cuypers, 2023), which analyses every location based on four key criteria: - Functionality - Appeal - Safety - Accessibility
This results in a complete picture of the quality and potential of existing spaces. It supports policymakers in making strategic investments, making adjustments, or developing new plans.
Curious about the status of the facilities in your municipality, and where improvements can be made?

Facilities in co-creation
Strong facilities aren't built behind a desk; they’re created together with the people who use them. At LINES, we believe in a bottom-up approach, especially when it comes to developing new spaces for street culture and (urban) sports. We support municipalities in co-creation processes that go beyond “hearing voices.” We safeguard the process with one clear goal: to ensure young people, local pioneers, residents, and other stakeholders are genuinely involved, from idea to execution. LINES offers support with: - Engaging and involving target groups and key stakeholders - Creative and safe co-creation sessions (workshops, open studios, site explorations) - Concrete input directly applicable to design and policy Always with the aim to build support, foster ownership, and create spaces that truly come alive. Build a space that truly works.

Concept development
From vision to plan
A skate hall, creative hub, street sports park, hip-hop center, or cultural incubator for young people. Great ideas deserve a solid plan as their foundation. LINES supports municipalities, community organisations, and local initiators in developing well-thought-out concepts for new facilities. Drawing on our in-depth knowledge of the scene, the community, and policy structures, we transform raw ideas into clear, compelling plans that inspire and persuade. We deliver: - A tailored concept or business plan - Integration within the local context: policy, target group, partners, and potential - Inspiration from successful (inter)national examples - Clear objectives, budgeting, and long-term growth perspective Whether it’s a brand-new creative centre or the transformation of an existing site, we make sure the story is strong and ready to land.
