Neighborhood Colors

Kiezcolors is an interactive map which shows the distribution of land use in Berlin neighborhoods. On the map areas are colored to show whether they are used for business, housing, roads, nature etc. Alongside the street map a tree-map is also used to show the percentage of land used by each category within the highlighted area (the circle of 'undefined' radius).

You can use the map's search facility to center the map on any Berlin address, or you can simply pan the map to your desired location. The tree-map updates automatically to always show the distribution of land use in the circle at the center of the map.

When you have centered the map on the desired location you can then download a postcard shaped version of the resulting tree-map, visualizing the distribution of land use in your Berlin neighborhood. You can even download an SVG image of the reverse side of the postcard.
