About

RAUM is Rob Aalders Urban Media. RAUM is me working with experts in my network. For every project I work with other experts so we can deliver the best possible outcome. I have over 10 year experience in Smart City projects and a academic background in Urban Geography and Economics.

Cities are no longer only about the physical space. We bridge the off-line and on-line worlds to create livable and lively places. We help you in creating a strategy that’s fits your activities into the evolving mechanism of the 21st century. My passion is to design fun and meaningful everyday services using tools such as websites, sensors, social networks, displays and mobile applications. To create innovative solutions and irresistible places, you have to look at the spaces they thrive in. By mixing business strategy, design thinking, behavorial knowledge. creativity and cutting-edge technology we are able to create the unexpected. Our projects must lead to a better experience, more valuable (civic) services and enabling lower carbon emissions. The city itself becomes the core interactive interface for the citizens.
