Ngong Explorer
Planning, terrain and drainage evidence connected across three live spatial tools
Three spatial tools, one evidence-led municipal view
Ngong Explorer brings development planning, wards, services, roads, terrain and drainage into three connected public tools. Visitors can move from plan-level context to terrain interpretation and then inspect individual screening locations before field verification.
Planning evidence often sits across documents, GIS layers and specialist analysis. The challenge was to make those sources navigable for residents, planners, researchers and decision-makers while keeping the limits of mapped screening clear.
We designed and developed the information architecture, interfaces, spatial-data presentation and deployment of the three-tool platform.
- Organise the tools around the questions visitors need to answer
- Connect planning evidence, terrain context and location-level screening
- Explain data limits at the point of use
- Support desktop, mobile, touch and keyboard navigation
- IDeP Map Dashboard
- Drainage Atlas
- Drainage Explorer
- Shared platform architecture and deployment
- Civic-technology product strategy
- Municipal GIS and map-interface design
- Evidence caveats integrated into the user journey
- Connected public tools built around real planning questions
Bring This Capability to a Live Brief
Municipalities, development partners and planning teams often need documents, GIS layers and field questions brought into one usable evidence interface. We design tools that help people move from broad context to a specific location without overstating what mapped screening can prove.
This is an independent PZGL Studios spatial-tools project. Public planning and geographic sources support exploration and screening, not engineering approval or proof of flood causation.
