Assess places with the Commission's own method, and see what young people say about them.
NEB RADAR builds the NEB Self-Assessment method of the Joint Research Centre (29 measures, JRC139118) into one place with open-data indicator profiles, young people's confirmed statements and comparisons with Virtual Best Practice Neighbourhoods. Evidence first, no private score.
How it works
From a building to a district, on the map or by search.
What it does for you
- Assess a project or a space with the 29 measures, with evidence, review and performance classes.
- Indicator profiles for spaces from open data, each value with its source.
- Compare a real place with a fitting Virtual Best Practice Neighbourhood, scene by scene.
- Urban Ideation: visualise ideas for a real place from its photos, with material data for each idea (Lab for invited testers).
Why you can trust it
- Hosted in the European Union (Amsterdam), with AI from European providers (Mistral AI, Paris, for text; Black Forest Labs, Freiburg, for pictures).
- Young people take part without an account, a name or an e-mail address. Individual answers are never published.
- Every group statement and every photo is checked before it is published. No rankings of people, groups or organisations.
- The method is the NEB Self-Assessment with its 29 measures (source: Joint Research Centre report JRC139118), not a private score.
- AI drafts are always labelled and reviewed by people before they count.
- Kept current with the method: every week NEB RADAR checks the JRC's NEB self-assessment method, its online tool and handbook, related EU frameworks such as Level(s), and the laws in its regulation register for changes. People review every adaptation before it changes an assessment.
- The comparison with a Virtual Best Practice Neighbourhood is a direction, not an official score.
Built on proven groundwork
Neighbourhood assessment research at HafenCity University Hamburg, supported by the ICLEI Action Fund and Google.org (2022 to 2024): three-pillar assessment, benchmarking, a published Playbook.
Interreg Baltic Sea Region project on young people co-creating urban futures with AI, urban data and storytelling: HafenCity University Hamburg with Aarhus University, Luleå University of Technology, Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences and the cities of Hamburg and Aarhus. Its finding: cultural institutions are the right partners for young people.
The 29 measures (Key Performance Indicators of the NEB Self-Assessment method, JRC139118) of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, built into NEB RADAR and extended with young people's voice.
