How do you calculate shade for multiple cities in real time?
We want to share the technology behind our heat-avoiding routing and explain how it can be adapted to the specific needs of cities & municipalities.

Weยดve built a heat-avoiding routing app available in 80 German cities. It calculates pedestrian routes based on high-resolution shadow data, steering people away from sun-exposed roads.
Want to co-develop it further based on your city`s data & needs?

๐๐จNew #OpenData tool to assess traffic emissions:
The Climate Action Navigator, our interactive dashboard to aid urban #ClimateAction, can now also estimate transport emissions for all main roads in Germany, showing where policy changes (e. g. car-free areas) are most needed: buff.ly/h9vxgyW
Another summer is approaching. What if routing could account for heat?
Soon, we are releasing heat-avoiding routing for 80 major German cities & looking for municipalities to co-develop it and shape it to their local needs.

How reliable is #OpenStreetMap data for routing?๐
In our latest blog post, we take a closer look at routing distance and travel time estimations and explain what drives the differences between OSM and commercial alternatives like Google Maps, with the help of the ohsome dashboard: buff.ly/6vLATVQ
Climate change challenges every city differently. What are you tackling in your city?
One year ago, we launched the Climate Action Navigator, an open dashboard with actionable data to build climate-resilient cities: buff.ly/vZZiNG8

We are proud to support the Common Space initiative of creating an #OpenData infrastructure with an independent, high-resolution humanitarian satellite mission.

Urban cycling depends also on the terrain. This map shows the slope of bike paths in Zurich, showing where action might be needed to make urban mobility more inclusive and accessible.

Karten geben Daten Kontext โ und machen sichtbar, wo Chancengerechtigkeit im Alltag fehlt.
HeiGIT hat einen offenen Datensatz entwickelt, der weltweit zeigt, wie weit Menschen von der nรคchsten Schule oder dem nรคchsten Krankenhaus entfernt sind. Hier geht es zum Datensatz: shorturl.at/RNQM6
