(mentor) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Programme Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences Project AR2A011 Date 2023-04-20 Abstract The paper examines the relationship between the public transport network and urban diversity in Amsterdam using urban mapping and data analysis. The paper presents a hierarchical analysis of the urban diversity outcome, which is based on the computation of the average diversity scores for each geographical area. The Simpson index is used to measure urban diversity combined with the Urban Network Analysis Toolbox to isolate geographical areas. The diversity is ranked using the number of amenities per function, with the index ranging from zero to one, where higher values indicate greater diversity. The areas exhibiting the highest degree of urban diversity are those located within two-hundred meters of the Noord-Zuidlijn, followed by those situated within a similar distance from metro line 51. The third category is comprised of areas located within a two-hundred-meter radius of the tram stops, while the least diverse areas are the ones lying between the metro and tram network. The study concludes that the causal relationship between the tram and metro network and urban diversity cannot be definitively established based on the findings of this research. Nonetheless, the present study confirms the existence of a correlation between the two.
