Staat van Utrecht

The 'Staat van Utrecht' (State of Utrecht, The Netherlands) is a digital, regional source of knowledge intended to signal social issues within the province and to facilitate the scheduling. Besides a digital platform, once every 2 years a brochure is released with the important changes of the past 2 years.

The Staat van Utrecht has two main functions: a monitoring tool and a dialogue starter.

Monitoring tool

The Staat van Utrecht contains 12 main themes, 40 sub-themes and approximately 200 indicators that together give a picture of the living, working and living environment in the 26 Utrecht municipalities.

Dialogue starter

In addition to the monitoring instrument, the Staat van Utrecht also aims to stimulate dialogue about social issues and challenges. Which themes are playing now? What is going well with the region and where are the challenges for the future? The Staat van Utrecht wants to invite as many parties in the region as possible for various activities and meetings to discuss and think about different types of social issues.
