Cartografie for Amsterdam

The 'Kaart van Amsterdam' is a topographic map widely used within the municipality of Amsterdam. It has been cartographically designed and adjusted during the past decades and gets annual updates. The cartographic software currently in use is end-of-life and needs replacement. To test if QGIS could be an option for that, they ran a proof of concept project to recreate exactly the same map in QGIS. The data preparation and update process needed a redesign as well, because QGIS is data based and not just a digital drawing.
This presentation will show the process, challenges, found solutions and the resulting map. tl;dr QGIS has stunning cartographic capabilities!
