Real estate development

Know the neighbourhood before you build

Anyone developing a neighbourhood needs to know who lives there and what is needed. The Impact Scan retrieves the figures for the area you draw from CBS, RIVM, the police and other sources, and sets them alongside the average for the municipality and for the Netherlands.

Made for anyone developing or redeveloping a neighbourhood

A development plan stands or falls with the neighbourhood around it. Who lives there now, what about income and work, how liveable and safe is the neighbourhood? Those figures are held by CBS, RIVM, the police and other sources, each in a different place. With the Impact Scan you have them in one overview, for exactly the area you draw.

The Impact Scan works with the area you draw, for those who are about to build. The Integrated Neighbourhood Scan maps neighbourhoods for a municipality.

How it works

01

Draw the area

You draw a district, a neighbourhood or your own boundary on the map. The Impact Scan retrieves all the data for that area.

02

Read the neighbourhood

We combine sources such as CBS, RIVM and the police into one view. You see the current situation of the area, alongside the average for the municipality and for the Netherlands.

03

See what the neighbourhood needs

You see how the neighbourhood is made up and where the challenges lie. You work dashboards and scan results into your own reports, so your plan rests on the same figures.

04

Measure the impact

A new scan after one or more years shows how the neighbourhood has changed. Gebiedskompas results from different periods can be stored and compared, so the impact of an area development can be measured.
