Taranto, Napoli, Lambersart (Italy)

Duration: Coming Soon

Domains: 

  • Predictive traffic management/sustainable mobility planning

  • Data-services related to weather, climate and extreme weather events

  • Management of energy flows

  • Any other domain falling under the New European Bauhaus initiative

Motivation:

  • Implementation of  public space, relevant issue of the city Planning strategies

  • Assessing climate change, in particular the effect of heat islands. 

  • Assessing quality of existing public space (accessibility - green capital - usability)

  • Building a stronger awareness of the city social composition and distress factors        (increment common basic statistical parameters like number of families, potentially fragile population, age groups with a comprehensive description of social fragility, energy poverty, potential resilience)

  • Monitor Green capital consistency (updated landuse cartography and Remotely sensed data)

  • Interact  with urban planning officers/welfare officers, support  decision makers (with appropriate information and easy to use services)

  • Develop and reinforce a policy for sharing data

Use Case Description:

  • Build a detailed public space map: (existing/potential)

  • Assess accessibility  

  • Evaluate social pressure: (distance, economic factors)

  • Evaluate climate risk factors

  • Assess implementation costs: (for adaptation, regeneration)

Added Value:

  • Implement new services in the city’s Spatial data infrastructure  

  • Leveraging of EU research results 

  • Build good practices for the city urban design

  • Share experience with other coastal  cities
