Velkommen til App Cities. Forskningsprosjektet gjennomføres av Institutt for by- og regionalplanlegging ved Norges miljø- og biovitenskapelige universitet (NMBU). Prosjektet støttes av Statens vegvesen og Viken fylkeskommune.

Hensikten med prosjektet er å undersøke hvordan ulike sider ved livskvalitet endrer seg over tid i Oslo og Viken.

Prosjektet fokuserer på nabolag, byrom, daglig reise, bruk (eller ikke-bruk) av nye teknologier, og hvordan alle disse påvirker livskvaliteten over tid.
