An integrated regional economic development strategy

An integrated regional economic development strategy

Year: 2016-2017
Activities: Website Design and development including interactive data visualisations
Client: PBL - Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, Netherlands

This web application, published by PBL (Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency), presents information on economic competitiveness across European regions. It combines three forms of regional economic policy — sector, innovation, and competition policy — to help users understand regional economic policy strategy.

I designed and developed the application in close collaboration with the client, who actively participated by providing feedback and requesting specific features.

The application is primarily targeted at regional policymakers and focuses on region-specific information. To make complex data more accessible, the application generates dynamic regional reports that explain results and include charts tailored to each region.

The "interactive policy pages" allow users to explore the data through a range of interactive visualisations. Users can select different production sectors and regions and engage directly with the visualisations to gain deeper insights.

Accessibility

A key requirement for this project was to meet accessibility standards according to WCAG 2.0. To provide alternatives to the visualisations, sortable and filterable tables are included on every page containing data related to each visualisation, offering users more ways to explore the information.
