Municipalities’ own project input
The municipalities of Alkmaar, Heiloo, Castricum, Bergen, Dijk en Waard and Uitgeest use Clappform’s Housing Development Monitor to jointly keep control of the regional housing development target. All ongoing and planned housing development projects of the six municipalities are in one place, with status, progress and planning per project.
The municipalities have an up-to-date overview of the housing programme and align policy and implementation with each other.
Data on housing development projects is often spread across different departments, systems and files. In a region with six municipalities, fragmentation adds to this: each municipality works with its own files, definitions and ways of working, while joint agreements exist with the province and central government on the number of homes to be built. Without a shared, up-to-date picture, it is hard to monitor project progress, bottlenecks and the delivery of housing targets. The task was therefore to bring fragmented information together in one place that offers reliable, up-to-date insights for policy, implementation and regional cooperation.
The Housing Development Monitor brings all housing development projects of the six municipalities together in one up-to-date overview. The monitor shows the status, progress, planning and housing programme of ongoing and planned projects, including the distribution of homes per year across segments such as social rent, mid-rent and owner-occupied. All municipalities work with the same definitions in one place, without separate overviews per municipality.
Within the Housing Development Monitor, municipalities can, among other things:
gain insight into all housing development plans, including status, phasing and delivery progress;
use an AI assistant for quick analyses, summaries and searches;
consult cadastral maps and combine them with plan areas and other spatial layers;
work with different roles and permissions, so each user sees only what is relevant;
link with the ministry’s Basisset Woningbouw 2.0 for uniform reporting;
make bottlenecks visible with a traffic-light indicator (green/orange/red) based on progress and risks;
filter plans by themes such as sustainability, affordability, land position or developer;
export data to CSV, Excel, PDF or via API for use in other systems.
Example of the solution, with fictional data.
Municipalities work on a wide range of themes: housing and liveability, sustainability, safety and the social domain. These themes touch on area development and call for current, reliable data.
When allocating resources, prioritising policy interventions and monitoring neighbourhood developments, current insights help municipalities make well-founded choices and adjust course.
Clappform offers municipalities one modular data platform that connects existing systems and data sources, checks the data on every load and runs thematic dashboards on top of it that match policy questions.
