Abstract (EN): Sport in the city is a design research on the spatial possibilities of sport in a multifunctional, compact and urban neighborhood. In five European cities: Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Porto and Valencia the research explores the spatial integration and mixing of sport in an urban environment. The aim of the research is to integrate sport and city spatially and programmatically. Lessons on the projects are translated into a qualitative toolbox which consists of spatial, programmatically and organizational aspects. This toolbox can be used to improve the existing situation or for new assignments where the main goal is to integrate sport physical and programmatic with the city.
