The Public Planning Cockpit supports cities, municipalities, and regions in addressing social and spatial planning questions in a well-founded and forward-looking way. Spatial-temporal visualizations of people, household, housing, and building data make developments visible, understandable, and plannable.
Whether the topic is neighborhood development, aging strategies, or location decisions, the cockpit helps identify trends early, assess needs on a data-driven basis, and justify decisions transparently.
What is the Public Planning Cockpit?
The system brings together nationwide Swiss data on population, households, buildings, housing types, and residential mobility. This information can be explored geographically and interactively, from municipality overviews to neighborhoods and down to the 100-meter grid. The result is a robust foundation for evidence-based planning, from strategic goal setting to concrete spatial implementation.
Application areas
The cockpit can be used, for example, for:
- Neighborhood development and district planning
- Aging strategies and demographic analyses
- Family and integration support
