DIALOGUE 3 focused on the topic of ‘UN-Data’. The development of a critical approach to this topic called for the collection of evidence on the ground. We formed a core team with several of the LAB2 participants to investigate the relation between global and local data (related to Habitat III / Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs) through co-designed fieldwork in three case study cities: Chennai, Mexico City and Santo Domingo, approaching UN-Data from the angle of Urban Mobility.

DIALOGUE 3 was set up as a process that ran from July to October 2016 and consisted of four major elements: 1) Co-design Workshop in Berlin, 2) Fieldwork in three cities including a Local Workshop, 3) Production Workshop and 4) Results Workshop.
