Abstract: In a complex urban scenario with a growing number of stakeholders and high dynamic developments, decision makers rely heavily on public data to make informed decisions. Often though, the available data is heterogeneous and stems from incomplete or inconsistent sources. The planning process, especially the definition of planning goals/needs, is often delayed due to time-consuming data procurement and assessment. This paper describes the development of the Cockpit Social Infrastructure (CoSI), a GIS-based planning support system that serves as an easy-access interface between Hamburgs Urban Data Platform GIS data infrastructure and the municipal planners for social infrastructure, bridging the gap between disciplines and facilitating communication and decision-making between stakeholders. CoSI takes full advantage of the UDP infrastructure and aims to introduce a city-wide tool for planners to conduct holistic, evidence-based planning, grounded in the latest and regularly updated statistical data. The paper outlines the project genesis and underlying technical and administrative structures.
