Try Xamfrà with the questions from your job

We are looking for people from public administration and utility companies in the metropolitan area who would like to use the viewer with real cases while we build it. You will tell us what is missing, what is too much and what is not understood.

What you will find

  • Access to the viewer in testing. 192 thematic views of the 36 AMB municipalities, in Catalan and English.
  • All the tools. Planning, crossings of two datasets, area cards in PDF and exports in PNG and CSV.
  • Direct line to the team. We fix the errors you tell us about, and the questions you ask may end up as new views.

What we ask of you

  • Use it for real, with a real question from your territory or your job.
  • Tell us what happens: what is not understood, what fails or what you miss, with a screenshot if possible.
  • A short conversation at the end of the trial to find out what you think.

How it works

The viewer is a prototype in testing and asks for a username and password. We give them to you when you sign up.

  1. Sign up

    Fill in the form: who you are, where you work and which questions you ask yourself.

  2. We give you access

    We reply by email with the username to enter the viewer.

  3. Try it

    Use it with real cases, at your own pace, from your computer or phone.

  4. Tell us about it

    You tell us what you think and what you would improve.

Who it is for

For anyone who has to answer questions about the metropolitan territory with data: where a service is missing, who lives far from a facility, how a neighbourhood changes.

  1. Local government

    Town halls and county councils

    Urban planning, social services, public health, mobility, environment or data teams.

  2. Metropolitan scale

    AMB and supra-municipal bodies

    Planning and services that go beyond a single municipality: transport, green space, housing, waste.

  3. Services and research

    Companies, consultancies and universities

    Water, energy, mobility, urban planning and research working with metropolitan-area data.

Sign up

We will reply by email with access and the next steps. If you have a question first, write to us.

Frequently asked questions

Which data does the viewer use?

Official and open data: INE, ICGC, Generalitat de Catalunya, AMB, Barcelona City Council, transport operators and OpenStreetMap. Each view states the source, the year and the limits of the data.

Can I use my own data in it?

At this stage the viewer only shows public data. If you have your own, we can talk: preparing and publishing it is one of Damos en el Blanco’s services.

Which territory does it cover?

The 36 municipalities of the Barcelona metropolitan area, with their 2,151 census sections. Madrid and New York are already there as pilots, with fewer sources.

Which languages does it work in?

In Catalan and English.

Is it an official publication?

No. It is a prototype in testing: every figure has a source and a date, but it does not replace the official publications of the bodies responsible for them.
