Urban Journalism Network

We are a network of European journalists and media organizations investigating the challenges we face in our cities. We use visual journalism and dataviz to tell our stories. We employ experimental methods in data journalism like machine learning, automation techniques and satellite analysis. And of course, we also do the hard investigative work in archives and on the ground. Apart from urban investigations, we regularly publish visual comparisons of European cities. Previous investigations: 🏠 #Cities4Rent, uncovering influencial corporate landlords in capital cities 👻 #GhostDebts , focussing on the globalizing market of trading debts Current investigation: 📡🏗 #GroundControl, investigating land ownership in European cities
