Crowd-sourced collected building attributes of the Colouring Dresden project

The building attribute data was collected by citizens as part of the citizen science project “Colouring Dresden”. Main goal was to collect information about buildings (like building age, usage, number of storeys, roof shape etc.) in an interactive online map. Different action formats (like dialogue series, presentations, mapathons, hackathons, and monthly meetings) were organised to bring citizens into action and discuss building-related topics. Focus was the sustainable construction of buildings and the questions how good current buildings of the city are prepared for natural catastrophes like floods, heavy rain incidents or heat stress. The project period was from October 2022 to September 2023 and the mapping platform was launched in March 2023.

The project is part of the international research network “Colouring Cities Research Programme” (CCRP) and the first local project in Germany. Colouring Dresden is currently coordinating the European Hub.

The project was led by Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development Dresden, Germany in cooperation with:

- Sächsische Landesbibliothek - Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB) - Regionalportal Saxorum
- Bund Deutscher Architektinnen und Architekten (BDA)
- Zentrum für Baukultur Sachsen (ZfBK)
- Technische Sammlungen Dresden (TSD)/ DLR_School_Lab TU Dresden
- Zentralbibliothek der Städtische Bibliotheken Dresden (SBD)
