Squaremeter.amsterdam

"Wait, you paid what for that apartment the size of a post stamp?!" is for some a commenly heard phrase. But what does that all really mean? Square meters and and square meter prices can be too abstract in many cases. So what if we change things around and look at what you really get for your hard-earned money?

And since we all had a bitterball, stroopwafel, or tompouce at least once in our lifes it might be a good idea to relate it to those items.

Data sources

Big efforts have been made to get up-to-data and correct data sources. All data that is visualized in this web application on the website can be found in the ./data directory. Data is structured following the GeoJSON format specification, or as raw JSON data.

The original data sources are:

Everything except for the price data can be re-retrieved and parsed from these sources by running the ./scripts/retrieve-data.js script (npm run retrieve-data). Price data has been manually imported into this project.
