Reflexive monitoring

Reflexive Monitoring is an innovative monitoring and evaluation method. It aligns daily activities with long-term ambitions and the impact of a project. The method enables users to gain insight into the progress and direction of their project in real time. Reflexive Monitoring helps to evaluate day-to-day activities and to respond to them while considering the bigger picture. This is especially helpful when addressing complex challenges.

Think of dynamic challenges such as climate change or social exclusion. These challenges ask for strategic collaborations as well as different perspectives and types of knowledge. Reflexive Monitoring enables urban practitioners to identify barriers and translate them into opportunities to address these challenge.
