As a parking spot's customer price grows, does its convenience increase?

By Didier Catz

For this project, a few assumptions will be made. Convenience in this case means how convenient a spot is for the customer — e.g. is it cheap? Are there enough parking spots? Is it easily accessible? How much comfort does it bring to the customer?

An interactive data visualisation on Dutch parking data.

In collaboration with the Volkskrant, a Dutch news outlet focused on objective and neutral-standpoint news, I will be creating an interactive datavisualisation regarding parking in the city. I want to measure and define convenience and see if a parking spot's cost positively or negatively influences this convenience.
