	For their sustainable development minor, a group of 4 students of different backgrounds were assigned to use the Tygron platform last year (2020) in order to develop a consultancy plan for the municipality of The Hague. This assignment was for an area study course at the University of Leiden. Their research question was ''"How can more greenery and other climate adaptation measures be incorporated into the Hoefkade to mitigate heat stress and flooding while taking into account the opinions of residents and local employees?"''. In 4 weeks only, and without any prior knowledge of the Tygron platform, the team learned how to use Tygron and created a full advisory plan for a greener Hoefkade neighbourhood in collaboration with the Municipality of the Hague. They focused on the effects of greening on heat and water.
