Cahier #1 The Hackable City: A Model for Collaborative Citymaking
Cahier #1 introduces our Hackable City-model and explains how it can be used to explore collaborative processes of citymaking in democratic societies. What new roles have emerged for citizens, (design) professionals and institutions, and how can collectives of citizens organized issues of communal concern interact with traditional institutions?

Cahier #2 Design Probes for the Hackable City in Amsterdam Buiksloterham
Cahier #2 describes a series of design probes that explored cooperative area development in the Amsterdam brownfield redevelopment site of Buiksloterham. These probes were tailored to investigate specific aspects of ‘hackable citymaking’: collaborative practices between different stakeholders, where new media technologies are employed to open up urban institutions and infrastructures to systemic change, in the public interest.

Cahier #3 The Hackable City International: Lessons from Athens, São Paulo and Shenzhen
Cahier #3 explores a series of concrete hackable citymaking practices in Athens, São Paulo and Shenzhen. Despite being situated on different continents and having distinct traditions and political systems, we found a number of dynamics around civic initiatives in these cities that further informed our Hackable city model.

The Hackable City: A Research Manifesto and Design Toolkit
This manifesto served as the starting point of our research project. Using ‘hacking’ as a lens to explore practices of collaborative citymaking, the book offers the hackable city as a collaborative, citizen centered alternative urban imaginary in lieu of dominant top-down smart city paradigms.

Hackable City Plot Exhibit @ International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam 2016
In 2016, DELVA Landscape Architects, One Architecture,Stadslab Buiksloterham Circulair, STUDIONINEDOTS and The Hackable City jointly presented their projects about Buiksloterham during IABR2016-TheNextEconomy. The installation ‘Hackable Cityplot’ zoomed in on a number of concrete proposals resulting from the clash between the chaotic world of the bottom-up – and traditional top-down urban planning, where cooperative co-design processes run in parallel with traditional urban development.

In the Media: Dan Hill about Future Trajectories for European urbanism
In 2016 The Hackable City team co-organized the Design & The City conference on citizen-centered design approaches for the smart city. Read Dan Hills report and reflections on the trajectories laid out at the conferences for the ‘social’ and the ‘democratic’ coming together in 21st century European cities.
