Event track:
Data & Visualization

The density and coverage of data describing urban phenomena is continuously growing. The data is being generated through governments, companies and citizens themselves. An increasing number of data sets is being published as open data. Many governments and companies are promoting the open data movement. Creating more transparency and new opportunities for urban planners, scientists, businesses and citizens. In our panel on Open Data and Citizen Engagement we are focussing on the opportunities of open data. Maja Brisvall will be introducing Quantified Planet, a non-profit organisation and global community that collects realtime sensor data. Richard Resl & Anton Eitzinger, will present mapping projects from Quito and Ecuador. They are working on GEOCITIZEN – a plattform for collaborative community planning and present Geobarrio QUITO-Ecuador / CALI- Colombia/ STEYREGG-Austria as example use cases. Sebastian Meier will talk about the potential of open data for citizens and show examples from the Maptime mapping community in Berlin, Germany
