Description
The Rbanism community aims to empower urbanism researchers, students, educators and practitioners to use open-source software and related open-science practices effectively and with confidence. It raises awareness, stimulates engagement and builds capacity by demonstrating the benefits of reproducibility, automation and scalability. Rbanism was initiated in 2021 by a group of R users in the Department of Urbanism at TU Delft, and it has since grown into an international community of 100+ members.
Our mission is to cultivate scientific computing, data science, computational thinking and software management skills for urbanism-related questions through peer exchange in a growing network. To that end, our activities include workshops on how to process and analyse geospatial data with R, many of which are held as part of the Carpentries, including the Geospatial Data Carpentry for Urbanism; GIS and mapping challenges such as the #30DayMapChallenge; and meetups. In addition to in-person activities, we organise online events open to our international community of urbanists. These various forms of engagement follow our commitment to inclusion and accessibility.
The Rbanism community has received support from the Netherlands eScience Centre, the Open Science Community Delft, and the TU Delft Library and Department of Urbanism.
