SAMBAL is based at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at KU Leuven, Belgium. We study how people live, interact, and move in cities.
We work at the intersection of geography, urban studies and data science. Often, we use or develop quantitative methods to analyze 'open' or large data sets, such as mobile phone and social media data. But these are not a cure-all, so we also integrate qualitative methodologies in our work. We think visualization helps to understand complex topics so you'll find some neat maps and graphs in our publications on this page.
