The municipality of Leeuwarden is taking a major step in the redevelopment of the Spoordok project by making data directly applicable in visualizations, simulations, and decision-making.
Like many other municipalities, Leeuwarden faces major challenges in housing construction, climate adaptation, and the energy transition. To ensure the success of the redevelopment of the Spoorzone (Spoordok) area, the municipality is working on data-driven area development. This approach makes data directly applicable in visualizations and simulations, essential for a well-supported participation process and integrated decision-making.
Why this approach?
In recent years, Leeuwarden has gained extensive experience with 3D technology. The ambition now is to broaden this knowledge and apply it specifically to complex urban challenges. The Spoordok program is an excellent example. There is a growing need to unlock and utilize various data sources in a 3D city model to make complex spatial issues manageable.
How we achieve this: The power of integration
They do this by bringing together different models and data sources into one integrated 3D environment via the Clearly.Hub, our Open Urban Platform.
A crucial prerequisite for this is unlocking data at the source based on Open Data Standards. This eliminates the need to wait for static reports; the effects of a design change are immediately visible and verifiable in the digital environment. In this process, we collaborate closely with various parties: from design agencies and engineers to specialists in drone data collection. All these players are indispensable links in a data landscape where information can finally truly flow.
A blueprint for a future-proof data landscape
Within Spoordok, we have taken an important first step: realizing a practical pilot project for creating high-quality 3D city model data according to the FAIR principles.
This project encourages further reflection: what do you, as a municipal organization, want your data landscape to look like in the future? The added value is clear: by using data integrally, plans not only become visually clear but, above all, objectively substantiated by current facts. This is how Leeuwarden is building the city of tomorrow in a smart and sustainable way.
