  • Dato Urbano: Barcelona collects, treats, visualizes and distributes data from the Open Data BCN portal

    The Dato Urbano project processes and translates different datasets, from various Spanish localities, homogenizing their treatment in reference to the coordinates’ system, the geographic precision and the distribution format, using the standard open format: GeoJSON. The GitHub platform allows users to see the geographic displays on a map; despite this, the Dato Urbano project has developed adaptive geographic viewers. The project’s purpose is the use of the visualizations in studies about multitemporal evolution. The resulting visualizations of the processing of data obtained through the Open Data BCN portal can be found in a public repository of GitHub, specific to the city of Barcelona. This project’s alive and, so far, 9 datasets of mobility and services have been treated from the Open Data BCN portal.

  • Relation between the location of electric vehicle charging stations and the vehicle park of the city of Barcelona in 2016

    Pol Masclans Abelló, a student of the Bachelor in Industrial Technologies Engineering UPC who has been working on the Open Data BCN service at the IMI (Institut Municipal d’Informàtica) has created a map that relates the charging stations for the electric vehicles in the city of Barcelona with the age of vehicles registered in the city, using the data from the Open Data BCN Portal.

    The interactive map allows you to select different layers, such as the percentage of vehicles with 10+ years old or 20+ years old, grouping by neighborhoods or districts. The aim is to highlight the antiquity or not (according to how it is valued) of the car park of the citizens of Barcelona and to publicize the possibilities that exist for electric vehicle chargers for those who want to acquire a Plug-in vehicle.

    The visualizations has been made using the datasets Barcelona's electric vehicle charging stations and of the Age of car of the city of Barcelona, with data from 2016. In that same year, there were 580,399 cars registered in the City of Barcelona.

  • Map of innovative initiatives in Barcelona

    The architecture studio 300.000 Km/s has produced the interactive map Geographies of innovation, a visual display of the various innovative initiatives currently under way in Barcelona. The map offers a selection of innovative initiatives, start-ups, companies, research centres and universities produced by Infonomia, and locates them on four different layers that provide information on the socio-demographic situation, the level of services and transport and the type of land use, among other things. That required the use of various Open Data BCN information sets (demographics, levels of income, unemployment and rents) and other data sets from TMB, Flickr, Google Places and the property register.

  • Visualization of public transport accessibility

    Carlos Carrasco, a researcher from the Cities in Motion centre at the IESE Business School and a member of Eixos.cat, has produced a visual display of open data on public transport accessibility in Barcelona (metro, bus, FGC and Tram) depending on the distance and resident population density in each block. Carrasco used portal data to determine the boundaries and population of the blocks, and the geolocalisation of the public transport stops.

  • “Movement vs. density”, visualization of the “atNight” project

    The 300.000 Km/s studio carried out the atNight project to reflect on the features that define Barcelona’s nightscape. One of the mappings that came out of this initiative is the one below, entitled “Movement vs. Density”, which seeks to illustrate how road space and private space correspond. To achieve that, a layer generated from the geolocalised routes of part of Barcelona’s taxi fleet is contrasted with the population density by block taken from the Open Data BCN portal.

  • Visualization of population density at a block level, by Carlos Carrasco

    Carlos Carrasco, a researcher from the Cities in Motion centre at the IESE Business School and a partner at Eixos.cat has created a visual display of the population density at block level in Barcelona, based on data supplied by the city’s Open Data portal. Carrasco, a data visualization enthusiast, has produced up to four different visualizations of this concept: with and without the street guide included, and with and without areas of less density. The specific visualization we offer in this space does contain the city street guide but does not include the minimum values, which take up a lot of space on the map and provide little information of any relevance.
