City Scan
Gain insight into the urban field and develop an urban policy plan.
A zero measurement of the current state of the urban field in a municipality. This includes infrastructure (hardware), supply (software), organisation (orgware) and the urban profile (size, characteristics, initiators, etc.). The situation is compared to (inter)national trends. Local opportunities, which could potentially contribute to a futureproof city with a vibrant urban (youth) culture, are explored. The opportunities are reported, including an investor agenda and first steps towards an urban policy. During this research and participation process, the urban scene will be involved and connected to each other, as well as to public stakeholders.
Programs
Devise:
Grants, concept development, working methods, policies, etc.

Policy support
Within LINES, the urban policy support officer is the jack-of-all-trades when it comes to urban sports and culture and everything around it. Our policy supporters do research on micro/meso/macro level, organise meetings, create models and other useful documents, carry out supportive policy work, etc.
Our makers (officers) are specialised in a.o.:
-
The internal linking of other domains that interface with urban;
-
Creating policy documents: from memos to implementation plans;
-
Setting up (internal) sessions for knowledge sharing, project or implementation;
-
Etc. (to be filled in as desired and possible).

Prepare an agenda with issues that are most relevant nationally (and/or internationally).
Urban Sessions
The urban sessions are online meetings where we cover topics related to urban sports and culture.
​
We catch up, spark conversations and connect communities and organizations so people can learn, connect and share.
Urban 2.0:
An expert presents a problem and prepares a roadmap/advice related to the chosen topic.
Extra modules
Modules we have implemented before. We don't turn down new initiatives either.
