The project asks if and how young people construct an urban identity 
from their creative media
practices. We build on two strands of urban research that claim, 
respectively, that creativity is a strong
driver of a shared urban culture and that urban identities are less 
divisive and more inclusive than
national ones. Our further integration of media research about active 
audience behaviour leads to a
multidisciplinary perspective that reveals the potential of urban 
identities to exceed traditional divisions
among youth based on national and ethnic backgrounds.
We use a multi-method design to analyse how young people understand 
their experiences of urban
life and construct their urban identity from the active reception and 
production of (interactive) media.
We collaborate with the Rotterdam ‘maker space’ Bouwkeet and two 
creative agencies to create a
living lab in which young people of diverse backgrounds consume, discuss 
and make media products.
