Urban Platform Initiative

By 2025 300 million EU citizens are served by platforms within their cities;
& in short-term accelerate the adoption of Urban Platforms through an easy-to-implement templated approach, and cross-sector collaboration
Urban Platforms form a core building block by which cities better manage the current explosion in volumes of city data and more easily share this data between city services in order to improve outcomes for society. Few cities in Europe have implemented such solutions. Key blockers included: Capacity; Money (as it’s an investment with an unclear BCase); Cross-Silo breaking commitment (a leadership role).
The Urban Platform Initiative comprises three core elements:
  • Demand-Side – to define common requirements, and speed adoption
  • Supply-Side – to bring together EU Industry to adopt common open solutions
  • Standardisation – to formalise the capture of the core content as international standards..
