Mitigating
Social Inequality
Inequality is a complex issue that is ingrained in all levels of society across all regions of the world. It is caused by a multitude of interconnected factors that affect almost every aspect of our lives. The attempt to understand and let alone mitigate this issue has been a challenging, but incredibly interesting task for our multidisciplinary team. This website showcases the results of our attempt to model and mitigate this wicked problem.
Accountability of Municipalities
Considering all citizens in decision-making for policies is vital to tackle inequality. Especially on a local level, municipalities should attempt to involve their citizens in the decision-making process. This mitigation is an advisory report for the municipality of Rotterdam on how accountability in the municipality can be increased.
Objective Media
Objective Media
The internet contains a lot of information. It can be difficult to review the validity of information, news and their sources, which creates inequality and imbalances power through the current centralised system. This mitigation uses blockchain to check, verify and cross-reference information in a decentralised manner, making it easier to rely on the information provided.
Education for All
Objective Media
Children with disabilities have a lower chance at going to school. Students with autism are impacted through the lack of adjusted guidance in high school classes. This mitigation is a coursebook which uses their strength and with this helps them thrive in high school.
Nutrition & Brain Development
Nutrition, despite being often neglected, is vital for brain development and therefore for one's future. However, an appropriate daily intake of food can be difficult, especially for those with a low economic status. This mitigation proposes an app to help with monitoring food intake and providing guidance in how to improve nutrition.
Fair Fashion
Objective Media
The creation of fast fashion produces a lot of waste, emissions and exploitation. Majorly, third world countries are left with the waste and work for low wages because of the underdeveloped regulations. This mitigation proposes mass customisation to allow for workers, customers and companies to work together and be more (socially) sustainable.
