atlas.brussels, un outil de géovisualisation de l’extension et de la fragmentation métropolitaine bruxelloise

Abstract

atlas.brussels is an interactive online geovisualization tool that questions the spatial extension and the internal fragmentation of the Brussels metropolitan area. To do this, the tool focuses in an original way on spatial interaction networks considered at both the national and the metropolitan scales. Among these networks appear movements of people (as home-to-work commuting), communications (as phone calls) and economic interactions (through the road freight interactions). Therefore, atlas.brussels combines, supplements, expands and promotes researches made on the metropolitan area of Brussels, and remains open to the integration of other datasets.
