An introduction to urban land exchange tooling
Mario Schrijver
The Netherlands? Cadastre, Land Registry, and Mapping Agency (the Dutch Cadastre), has implemented an internet portal for urban land readjustment. The Cadastre is carrying out an extensive programme in which it is developing a new public service for urban land readjustment. One of the key features of this programme is that owners are supported to initiate and participate in urban land readjustment projects. In this same program an internet portal is implemented which supports the execution of these projects. It is made to do a number of things. First of all it is designed for enhancing collaboration between the participants of urban land exchange projects. It is offered as a free service to the Dutch public and designed to make these projects as transparent and simple as possible. Second, it has extensive functionality to geographically identify the project area and its exchange objects, to design a new plan and to calculate its (financial) consequences. How and why this concept was conceived, worked out and implemented, is outlined below. Furthermore, an explanation of the underpinning concepts, how it is defined, built and implemented is provided. The article concludes with a number of screenshots.
