Data for Society

Climate change, energy crisis, mobility revolution – creating communities that are sustainable and livable requires solid information. If we want to make sound decisions, we need sufficient amounts of well-prepared data. Our project highlights the importance of (open) data for communities and communal life and dismantles the barriers that prevent us from accessing those data.

Municipal Open-Data Network

Together with Difu, the German institute for urban affairs, we’ve initiated a digital, municipal Open-Data Network. The meetings, which take place online, are designed primarily for public administrators and other local-level stakeholders. We also organize a BarCamp once a year.

Wegweiser Kommune

The data from Wegweiser Kommune (Community Roadmap) make it possible to better understand the developments taking place in communities and to improve local living conditions using fact-based information.
