Motivated by trying to find the age of my son's apartment in Amsterdam gave me the perfect opportunity to update a map I remembered seeing many years ago that had been rendered using Mapbox's old Tilemill application.

Building construction dates are published monthly as opendata in the BAG (Basisregistratie Adressen en Gebouwen) dataset in the Netherlands and the geometry for all 10 million or so buildings is available combined with building heights. This provided the opportunity to use Mapbox GL's capability to render 3D buildings, coloured by age of construction.

Rollover any one of the buildings on the map to discover exactly how old it is. With a bit more time (and a better understanding of Dutch) we're hopeful we'll be able to extract more address data for each building. In the meantime, I discovered my son's apartment was built in 1951.

Thanks to Mapbox for their generous support in keeping this resource live.

SHAPE (Strategic Health Asset Planning and Evaluation) is a free-to-use application for the NHS and Local Authorities and has been in constant development for the past 15 years. More recently a series of atlases have been developed that provide a range of options for visualising the location and details of the healthcare facilities in England; looking at specific datasets relating to specialised clinical commissioning, dementia and public health; and presenting Local Authority care provision and demographics.

The SHAPE Place Atlas brings together a range of mapping capabilities centred around the location of the healthcare estate; the accessibility of the sites via a range of transport options; and the demographics and clinical activity of the local population.

The SHAPE Place Atlas includes NHS Digital data providing details of each GP practice’s registered patient population and workforce; Environment Agency flood risk mapping; CDRC air quality layers; and demographic and other OpenData data from ONS, GLA, Department of Transport and NHS England.

Made with Mapbox: we're using Targomo's catchment generation API to allow all SHAPE users to dynamically generate access catchments for walk, cycle, car and public transport, for one or many sites and then provide detailed population demographics for any specific catchment isochrone.
