    General information
---------------------

 The aim of the project is to develop software for mapping and evaluating neighbourhoods in terms of available resources (including floor space and material flows in buildings, open spaces) and to make it available to local authorities for communication, decision-making support and management purposes. This tool is intended to make existing resource stocks and flows quantifiable. In addition, the project aims to contribute to increasing acceptance of sustainable urban development.

   Target values

- Economical
- Ecological
- Social

 Content focus

- Process design

 Innovation type

- Technical

 Funding

- Public, federal government

   Cooperation
-------------

 ###  Type of co-creation

 Those collaborating in the project pursue the co-creation approach intensively in only one phase of the project. In addition, the co-creation approach is applied in cross-process phases by involving people with practical and professional experience in decision-making about how to proceed.

  ###  Society involvement

 Organised civil society and/or local society exchange ideas with the project managers. The decision-making power lies with the scientists.

    Continuation of the project
-----------------------------

- The project was further funded by the public sector

   Constellation of actors
-------------------------

 ### Scientific involvement

- Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
    - Department of Real Estate Economics (FIWI)
    - Institute of Applied Geosciences (AGW)
    - Competence Center for Material Moisture (CMM)

### Actors in administration

- Office for Environmental and Occupational Safety, City of Karlsruhe
- Urban Planning Office, City of Karlsruhe

### Economic actors

- Smart Geomatics Informationssysteme GmbH
- Network for Planning and Communication Sippel.Buff

   Result and effect
-------------------

 ###  Results and impacts in terms of affordability and other ecological and social target values

 - Ongoing monitoring/better data leads to increased efficiency in planning processes, as it provides a more accurate overview of the status quo of neighbourhood areas and their use.
- Maintaining existing areas
- Identification of local society's needs for neighbourhood development, acceptance of neighbourhood development measures.
