Available **data** such as census data, density maps, social diversity maps, and deprivation maps were used and overlapped to identify potential urban areas. In London 10 areas of Green Park, Hallow Road, Casenove, Green Street West, Green Street East, Kilburn, Finsbury Park, Dalston, Bethnal Green, and The Lane (Peckham), and in Berlin 9 areas of Klausenerplatz, Moabit West, Moabit Ost, Brunnenviertel, Helmholtzerplatz, Samariterkiez, Boxhagenerplatz, Oranienstrasse, and Wrangelkiez were shortlisted. After on-site observations and further investigations against the defined criteria, two neighbourhoods of Kilburn and Bethnal Green in London and Klausenerplatz and Samariterkiez in Berlin were identified as appropriate case studies.
