New Mapping A City's Growth


Yesterday I wrote close how I've been waiting for person to practise an animated map of edifice historic menses information - inwards lodge to present a metropolis growing over time. Incredibly the map squad at the City of Amsterdam has responded to that asking inwards a mere affair of hours.

Amsterdam Growing Over Time is an incredible animated map which shows how the metropolis of Amsterdam has developed as well as grown from a few houses inwards the 17th century into the dynamic metropolis it is today. Click on the play push as well as spotter every mo the city's edifice footprints are added chronologically to the map based on each building's age.

The information for the buildings comes from the Construction as well as Address Database - BAG. This database provides the historic menses of buildings throughout the Netherlands. Some of the buildings inwards the database are patently newer buildings which convey been built inwards the same location as well as replaced older buildings. However Amsterdam has plenty historical buildings all the same standing for the animated map to supply a pretty accurate moving painting of how Amsterdam has grown over the centuries.
