About the Project

This project was developed as part of the GEO454 Geovisualization course at the University of Zürich in the spring term of 2026. Our objective is to design and implement an interactive map to effectively communicate traffic noise exposure for different demographic groups in the city of Zurich.

Project Goals

• Data Exploration: To provide a user-friendly interface for exploring the spatial datasets.
• Visual Communication: To use modern cartographic and design principles to ensure the resulting map is both aesthetic and informative.
• Interactive Functionality: To allow users to interact with the map, filtering and querying data to uncover hidden patterns.
• Target Group: The map is intended for policy makers and urban planners and should inform them about the distribution of traffic noise exposure in Zurich.
