Case
Data-driven greening in practice: pilot in Dronten
Data-driven greening makes it visible where extra trees are truly promising and where underground constraints come into play. Discover how CROW and the municipality of Dronten are working in a pilot on smart choices for greenery in public spaces.

Challenge
Greening: where is it necessary and feasible?
CROW, together with the municipality of Dronten, has developed a digital twin in a pilot project to gain more control over greening: where is greening needed and where is it feasible to realize more greenery?

Approach
Open and proprietary data integrated and weighed
Both above-ground and underground data have been examined u2013 such as cables and pipes, existing infrastructure and design of the public space. The nationally available open data was supplemented for this purpose with data from the municipality of Dronten itself, such as their own rules on distances to cables and pipes and their own tree data.

Available growing space for trees (underground and above ground)
Result
Share approach with other municipalities
The calculation model developed in the pilot was built with applicability to other municipalities in mind. It is now being further tested in a second pilot at the municipality of Soest.

"There is more to planting a tree than you might think. It was precisely by making concrete calculations in Dronten that it became clear how many factors play a role in determining suitable planting locations."
