Last week, our colleagues attended the Digital Experience Festival in Flevoland. The central focus was on how data, AI, and digital twins can help better understand the living environment and support informed decision-making. Examples include assessing the impact on liveability and health when developing a new district, and how these factors can be visualised in advance.
A digital twin creates a digital replica of an existing location, such as a neighbourhood or city. This enables organisations to evaluate the impact of various choices—such as planting trees or building a school—before implementation. The festival demonstrated that an increasing number of municipalities and provinces are applying this technology in increasingly tangible ways.
The festival coincided with the official opening of the Province of Flevoland's Digital Experience Center. Here, public sector organisations can leverage data and technology to collaboratively address societal challenges and prepare strategic decisions. A core principle is that emerging technologies are deployed securely, transparently, and democratically, ensuring seamless integration with current and future infrastructures.
During the festival, the Municipality of Almere presented Clappform's Impact Scan. This analysis consolidates diverse data sources to provide actionable insights into the implications of spatial development on a healthy physical living environment.
For the Pampus area development, Clappform collaborated with the Municipality of Almere on an Area Compass. This provides the municipality with greater insight into local requirements and areas requiring focused attention, enabling data and analytics to drive more targeted, evidence-based urban planning.
