Cities and government agencies must make faster, better-informed decisions about infrastructure, mobility, and land use — with limited resources. GOAT makes powerful spatial analysis accessible to any planner, no GIS expertise required.
Analyse land use patterns, evaluate location suitability, and model the spatial impact of planning decisions — all within a single platform. GOAT supports digital development planning and enables planners to run scenario analyses before committing to costly infrastructure changes.

Assess how well residents can reach essential services — supermarkets, schools, healthcare, public transport stops — by foot, bicycle, or transit. GOAT's accessibility indicators help cities identify underserved areas and prioritise investments in walking, cycling, and public transport infrastructure.

Calculate location-specific parking space requirements based on high-resolution sociodemographic data, public transport quality classes, car ownership rates, and land use context. GOAT's indicator-based approach — as demonstrated in the FLEKS project for the City of Munich — enables flexible, location-differentiated parking concepts that reduce construction costs while meeting actual demand.

A kindergarden five minutes away doesn't help if every place is already taken. This map goes beyond simple distance and factors in capacity too — showing where families are truly cared for.

Gravity-based heatmaps, ÖV-Güteklassen, catchment areas, 15-minute-city scores: the accessibility indicators planning decisions rely on, ready to run with your parameters. Around them sits a full toolbox of GIS and data analysis tools, so you can join, filter and aggregate your own data without leaving the browser.
Then save the whole thing as a workflow. When the data updates or a boundary changes, run it again. Same method, new result, no rebuilding.
Over 20,000 ready-to-use datasets: population, administrative boundaries, street networks, points of interest. Describe what you need and the catalog finds it, so you can start the analysis instead of procuring data first.
Nothing to install. Built on open-source technologies and open standards, so your data and workflows stay portable.
From a single department to a cross-municipal platform for entire regions.
Used by cities, regional authorities and federal research institutions across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Cities and agencies are already running these analyses on live projects, at the scale their own networks demand.
The Hamburg State Agency for Roads, Bridges and Waterways (LSBG) is tasked with systematically retrofitting approximately 2,400 bus stops for barrier-free access. The automated, standardized multi-criteria analysis required for this is being developed using the WebGIS GOAT.
