Innovative Urban Development – Munich Housing Market Monitoring

Content

The City of Munich uses a dashboard to provide an insight into the Munich housing market.
Interactive visualisations – covering, for example, housing demand, property prices and rents, social housing construction and measures to protect existing rights – have replaced the publication of data via PDFs.
The switch to digital processes helps to ensure data is more up to date, reduces the time and resources required, and minimises sources of error.
The visualisation is carried out using open-source software and is supported by an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process – which combines multiple data sources with varying structures into a single data warehouse.
The open-source software solution enables the tool to be replicated for use by other local authorities at minimal cost and with maximum transparency.
