Territory Hub

Decide where to invest, using data you can defend.

Data-driven support for urban planning, mobility and public investment choices.

The Territory Hub applies the MAATAI-LAB method to local public decisions: prioritizing investments, combining spatial data, making trade-offs visible and documenting the rationale behind choices.

Territory decisionv1.0
01
Prioritize
Rank investments under budget and operational constraints.
02
Explain
Make spatial criteria understandable to stakeholders.
03
Discuss
Give technical teams and decision-makers a shared support.
Territorial decision-making

Maps should support discussion, not shut it down.

VELODIT gives technical teams, elected officials and partners a shared support to discuss priorities, objectify trade-offs and explain investment choices.

Maps and indicators that make territorial trade-offs easier to discuss.
Territorial decisions

Local authorities face the same discipline of justification.

Urban planning and mobility choices involve imperfect data, budget constraints, political visibility and a growing demand for transparent criteria.

01

Dispersed data

Open data, local registries and technical datasets are often fragmented.

02

Competing priorities

Safety, continuity, equity and usage potential must be balanced.

03

Need for discussion

Maps and scores must support debate, not close it.

04

Traceable choices

Investment priorities need documented criteria and assumptions.

Available solutions

Territorial products now cover cycling and school surroundings.

VELODIT prioritizes cycling investments. ECODIT prioritizes school surroundings to secure. FRAÎCHEUR will be integrated after the dedicated materials are finalized.

VELODIT

Cycling investment prioritization

Identify where cycling investments can produce the greatest impact.

FRAÎCHEUR

Urban heat resilience

Upcoming product for prioritizing cooling interventions using open spatial data.

ECODIT interface

School-site prioritization, from map to decision card.

The demonstrator on Lyon shows how the tool filters by territory, displays priority classes and explains why a school site should be treated.

FRAÎCHEUR — prioritize urban cooling.

FRAÎCHEUR ranks 200 m grid cells by the need for action against heat, while separately identifying visible intervention levers. Its bridge with ECODIT highlights double-benefit schoolyards.

FRAÎCHEUR

Where should the city be cooled before next summer?

Morphological overheating, resident sensitivity, exposed population and distance to cool resources are combined into an explainable score.

Lyon demonstrator: 16,474 grid cells analyzed, 1,579 in very high relative priority.

A one-pager to present the three territory tools.

VELODIT, ECODIT and FRAÎCHEUR share the same foundation: fine grid, open data, priority separated from ease of action, and verifiable explanations.
