The Ile-de-France Urbanism and Development Institute (IAU) and the Paris Urbanism Agency (Apur) have together set up two new platforms offering information about the Grand Paris metropolitan territories.
HTTPS://OPENDATA.APUR.ORG: THE PARIS URBANISM AGENCY OPENS ITS NEW OPEN DATA PLATFORM RELEASING 60 DATA SETS AT ALL SCALES, ON AREAS AT THE PERIPHERY OF PARIS AND IN THE GREATER PARIS -GRAND PARIS- METROPOLIS.
These new data have, for the most part, been integrated into Apur’s CASSINI cartographic portal where all scales can be viewed, combined with other themes and superimposed onto historical maps.
This collection gives information on over 700,000 land parcels, 1,000,000 buildings, 140,000 roads and 15,000 facilities and infrastructures. It offers users a considerable range of previously unpublished data: the basic reference plan, urban projects, public facilities and infrastructures, energy ressources and needs, data on water, greening and waste, socio-demographic statistical data and the new economies…
By way of example the following are now available:
- Project data: the DB on projects pools a great deal of information about development projects within the metropolitan territory (sectors, buildings, un-constructed land, …) and is regularly added to with studies and work carried out by Apur and thanks to our partners’ contributions.
- Energy data: data in the energy field relating to land plots and buildings which make it possible, in particular, to assess heating needs, residential thermal loss and potential solar and geo-thermal resources.
- Data on nature: data on vegetation and its height, and also water with the exact zoning of rain-water harvesting.
The ergonomy of the platform enables the data to be viewed and also downloaded in KLM worksheet format, shapefile format or via API links. Detailed technical files accompany the sets of data to help when reusing them.
Apur will continue this open data movement in the months to come and will release new data, thus participating in the metropolitan innovation and sharing of public resources.
DECODE ÎLE-DE-FRANCE TERRITORIES: THE IAU LAUNCHES ITS PORTAL OF THE TERRITORIES
Understand what is at stake in the “new” territories
While the new form of governance redraws the institutional, infra-regional border lines, and new intercommunal structures and public territorial establishments are emerging, with public authority representatives moving towards decisions on the future of these redefined spaces, the IAU makes it possible to see and to understand the issues raised by these new territories which form Ile-de-France.
The story of a territory
What forms the identity of one territory among all the others in a regional whole? What distinguishing events have marked its evolution? What are its assets, its weaknesses its opportunities? Its level of public infrastructures? To what risks or limitations is it subject? What are the Ile-de-France Regional Guidelines -SDRIF-?
The Portal of the Territories offers a geographical gateway into the story of each territory and what it is made up of. The story is completed by various synthetic territorial data.
A gateway to IAU decoding tools
The first level of information opens to an overview of the territories and moves onto IAU, thematic, interactive applications: Territorial Data, Intercommunal Observatory -Intercos-, Facilities and Infrastructures -Équipomètre-, Development and Transport Projects, Cultural and Leisure Tourism, Heat in the City, The Ile-de-France Departmental Master Plan -RefTer- and Land Tomorrrow. A wide selection of tools through which the institute’s expertise make it possible to decode the many scales and issues within the Ile-de-France.
Today 31 initial territories are online representing 80% of the Regional population, the whole of the Francilian territory will be explored via this portal by the end of the year.
