Scramble City is a visual essay by Lada Hrsak, Michiel van Iersel, Dieuwertje Komen and Neeltje ten Westenend.

Containing an inventory of official and informal attempts to make sections of the city unique and liveable, with a focus on cultural interventions. It is ultimately a journey through time: The successes and failures in the creation of urban identity over the past decade.Scramble City is one of 4 cahiers each providing its own account of a study trip examining cultural politics in European secondary cities organized in 2010 by the former Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture .
