Open Government Data in Potsdam
The City of Potsdam attributes great value in the use of Open Data to improve the quality of living of its residents and its potential for the private sector.

That is the question the City of Ghent in Belgium is trying to answer with their project DYNAcity.

Visualise the energy network
During the design process of new urban environments, there are a number of decisions which have to be made involving many stakeholders. The energy or heat network is one of these decisions for which many and sometimes conflicting interests or preferences have to be taken into account. To seek alignment and comprehension between these stakeholders, a partnership between a Dutch energy provider, municipality and software developer have resulted in an Open Data based visualisation tool. By using their tool, known as HEAT, a 3D visualisation is created by which the consequences of certain energy
