PEOPLE - PLACE - PLATFORM

Sharing Cities aims to demonstrate how thoughtfully designed, integrated, open source solutions can be developed to serve the interest of the citizens in an affordable and scalable manner. It is built on the three key principles of People, Place, Platform:

PEOPLE: User-centric smart city services co-designed with citizens

PLACE: Infrastructure solutions for low-energy districts, e-mobility, retrofitting of buildings, installation of sustainable energy management systems and smart lamp posts

PLATFORM: Urban sharing platform based on open data

Urban sharing platform

Manages data from a wide range of sources, including sensors, as well as traditional statistics. It is built on common principles, open technologies and standards. This development draws on London’s data analytics expertise (DataStore); Milan’s work on an application programming interface (API) marketplace and public use of data; and Lisbon’s experiences with sensor data analysis and gateways.
