Impressive visualisation. Seems to be an extrusion of the Kadaster (government) building data towards the maximum height of the structure.

Much more precise data is also also available: there are height maps of NL with a resolution of 5 points per square meter, IIRC (not my field). Eg [1], but perhaps more parties do similar work.

And as mentioned elsewhere, they indeed misrepresent renovations & construction work as building dates.



And even better, you can view the underlying data as a 3d point cloud here: (crashed my Firefox on mobile) http://potree.entwine.io/data/ahn.html
