Perform.net is an online platform and research tool designed to generate and analyze information on cultural uses and practices in public and publicly-accessible spaces in Alexandria - at present - and Egypt - in future strategic stages.

The scope of this project is to create a valuable information database that maps out the cultural use of public and private spaces across the city. This project will deliver an interactive online database to locate and identify artists, Performing art groups and their studios, as well as, performing arts facilities, and related associations, services, opportunities, information and research resources, as well as communities related to performing arts such as local, regional and international networks,

This platform is accessible to the public and can be used by individuals, organisations, and policy-makers in the planning of any activities or events. Furthermore, researchers are able to directly contribute to the development of the directory by adding layers of data obtained through their own research.

This tool will allow us to address challenges in the artistic and cultural sectors through an assessment of the cultural infrastructure across the city where future workers in cultural management will be provided with a digital tool to make informed decisions about venues, cultural practices, the regeneration of various localities and the needs of local cultural industries. Also, It helps improve the base of information on cultural assets in municipalities to inform a wide range of planning decisions. Moreover,  It helps build networks and stronger collaboration across a wide range of cultural groups and activities.

Through innovative marketing methods, the platform will be developed by engaging as many partners as possible and by adding new features which will help to reach the target audience., the following figure explains the type of data to be collected and presented via perform.net.
