Every week, a stunning 1.5 million people migrate to cities all over the world. 1.5 million! Can you imagine?
The Urban Detective investigates everything that has to do with this worldwide migration to- and clustering of people in cities. I am travelling the world to find out more about the challenges and opportunities us urbanites face.
I'm an urban sociologist with a passion for investigative journalism, cities and people. After graduating, I decided to start my own project to combine these passions. As a true urban detective I am now investigating some of the greatest urban challenges of our time and I document the way people actually deal with those challenges.
Wouldn’t it be great to read and see for yourself how people on the other side of the world find their way in the city? Let's inspire each other. As we are almost all urbanites by now, we might even learn from each other.
