In particular, onboard computing helps railways realize several benefits to operations and safety by adopting smart features and connectivity. End-to-end solutions composed of sensors, edge hardware, software, cloud, and analytics from across the IoT ecosystem and powered by Intel® IoT Market Ready Solutions, help reduce time, cost, and risk for railway authorities. These scalable, repeatable solutions are designed to solve key challenges in vision technology, mobility, traffic management, and more. Mobility and Transport Safety Innovation Kontron platforms built on Intel technology offer solutions that deliver the future of smart railway technology to help railway operators achieve safety, mobility, and efficiency objectives, from trains to tracksides to stations. Passenger Information: Digital Signage, Wi-Fi Connectivity, Infotainment Onboard the moving train, operators can provide valuable near real-time information to travelers including 3D wayfinding, event details, points of interest, emergency information, and multi-modal transit Information. Travelers can also connect directly to station or operation officials and talk to a live person on the screen. In many railway stations where lower-cost broadband internet infrastructure is under-developed or unavailable, free public Wi-Fi provided by kiosks helps stations bridge the digital divide. Smart Ticketing & Contactless Journey: Automated Fare Collection, Access Control, Touchless Retail Transactions Onboard Smart ticketing systems, part of the contactless journey, can be applied to rail transit and utilized onboard moving trains. Passengers can use stored value cards that can be quickly charged through the gate at stations or onboard, with the validator deducting fare from the contactless card automatically. The e-ticketing system can greatly improve the quality of intelligent traffic and transport efficiency by automating the entire ticketing management process for a railway. Smart ticketing systems allow for fare collection to occur through a credit card tap while onboard the moving train, via a rail card on the train, or through a smartphone. The use of sensor beacons could eventually result in the removal of ticket barriers and signal an end to queues at the ticket machine in metro railway stations. Sensors on station platforms or onboard trains will be able to detect an app on passengers’ smartphones as they enter the station or board, automatically charging the correct fare and eliminating overcharges. Metro railway operators will be able to streamline backend billing and revenue management, while better understanding metro train usage behavior through near real-time data. Vision & Analytics: Physical Monitoring, Passenger Safety, People Counting, Luggage Tracking, Asset Tracking, Predictive Maintenance, Driver/Operator Distraction Prevention Digital signage and kiosks can display near real-time public safety messages to warn travelers about evacuations, toxic gases, or other emergencies. Railway station officials can use onboard cameras to measure and analyze passenger flow, improving railway safety and traveler experience. Latin America Kontron solutions powered by Intel® technology are leveraged to deliver integrated digital experiences to increase positive experiences and efficiencies for drivers and passengers; deliver benefits to operations and safety; help reduce time, cost, and risk for railway authorities; solve key challenges in vision technology, mobility, traffic management, and more. https://www.kontron.com/ebook-intelligent-railways-2021 https://www.kontron.com/ebook-intelligent-railways-2021 GOAL 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities Financing digital urban innovation Digital empowerment & capacity building Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Building a more effective architecture for digital cooperation 4313088772661.73 17637690.1657559

Intel is partnering up with its ecosystem partners to support new models for intelligent, connected logistics with powerful computing, vision technology, and edge/cloud computing that cover fleet manager’s use cases of today and in the future. From the edge to the cloud, Intel helps turn data into actionable insights that help fleet managers continue providing a high-quality delivery service. Mobility and Transport Safety Urban Policy Developing innovative, meaningful, and long-lasting mobility solutions through technology. The Internet of Things plays a key role in the future of public transportation. Many logistics providers today rely on disaggregated data platforms and independent point solutions for their fleet management systems, making it difficult to manage large fleets without expending significant time and resources. New fleet solutions can provide a smoother transportation experience, actionable insights from mass data, and greater value for customers and employees via improved efficiency and manageability. To address their challenges, fleet organizations are looking for solutions that can: • Improve operations with tools that allow transport operators to monitor vehicles, passengers, and driver behavior for coaching opportunities; and to monitor goods as part of cold chain quality assurance or theft protection • Improve fleet manageability with near real-time visibility and insights of the entire fleet • Enhance the passenger experience with streamlined ticketing systems, automated policy enforcement, back-end analysis on customer demands, and public transport infotainment • Reduce costs with improved efficiencies and optimized maintenance scheduling for max vehicle run-time • Increase awareness for heavy duty vehicles and operators, allowing data collection for light pole maintenance needs, pothole location and severity, or on construction sites to monitor effective use of safety equipment Public transportation companies can help improve operations, efficiency, and manageability while keeping costs low with fleet management systems that provide a more connected and enhanced transportation experience. Fleet systems collect, store, and analyze vehicle data providing transport operators with actionable insights that help manage their entire fleet. These insights empower transport operators to optimize vehicle maintenance schedules by predicting and spotting maintenance needs for the vehicle and passenger seating areas. Additionally, meta data can help operators with route planning to maximize transportation efficiency. Features such as 360° view, driver management, and passenger monitoring provide key insights for drivers and transport operators that can help improve operations. To streamline onboarding, fleets can take advantage of e-ticketing systems, contactless payments, occupancy control, and automated compliance notifications. Lastly, passenger communication systems notify customers of policies, stops, transfers, and other routes to create a smoother travel experience for new and experienced customers Latin America The resulting global demand for passenger mobility in urban areas is expected to double by 2050.3 Transport operators continue to face increasing challenges with their existing systems in e-commerce, ticketing, route planning logistics, as well as overseeing vehicle and internal bus maintenance purposes. New complications such as evolving public health measures, non-traditional traveling schedules, and other accessibility needs present even more challenges Link will be available shortly.

Reopening in the New Normal 04/01/2021 to date Project Performance and Monitoring Research IoT The need to leverage new technology including machines, drones, robotics, etc. to deliver things, enable tests for a disease, manage occupancy and social distancing, or assist in cleaning and sanitizing is becoming increasingly apparent, particularly in areas where people congregate and socialize. Yet in many cases, full recognition and active adoption of technology solutions requires education and communication of their impacts and benefits. The COVID-19 outbreak is accelerating technology trends that were already underway. AI, blockchain, analytics, and virtualization offer examples of emerging technologies that are uniquely situated to combat the far-reaching impacts of the pandemic. Advances in these fields may also mitigate the effects of future outbreaks, with the potential to anticipate and help prevent them. Temperature checks and other health screenings will likely become more common as the need to enforce social distancing will be key for some time in places that are usually packed with people. New technologies, including geo-fencing and real-time video and data analytics, could be utilized to make sure that people maintain adequate space between themselves and others. Digital twins can help cities and spaces better predict foot traffic and areas of inefficiencies, allowing key decision makers to better manage their environments. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies will play an increasing role in the diagnosis, containment, and search for treatment of COVID-19. Large-scale data mining and analytics have become the norm in many industries and applications, but some sectors still lag behind. The widespread economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis will likely prompt increased investment in technologies that can forecast, model, and quantify the impact of the pandemic as well as future adverse events. Public Space Safety Urban Health Technology solutions to reopen businesses and facilities and enhance the security and safety of people after the Covid 19 shutdown. Smart Spaces are gathering areas and venues that use technology to assist in improving their location’s user experience, operating efficiency, safety and security In the post-COVID world, smart spaces will aim to provide the user with an environment that both motivates them to live and work there, and that allows users to better connect to and interact with their surroundings. Among the many areas of future improvements made evident by this pandemic, the need for spaces to automate manual processes, enable touchless experiences, and improve capacity management has become most clear. While many different low-tech processes have been used effectively, there is still an opportunity for smart spaces high-technology to help. Solutions are available to help users safely enter, navigate, work and be comfortable within a space. Certain use-cases will happen over and over again, such as monitoring the frequency of access, the length of queues, and the distance between people in a space of a certain size. Ultimately, our focus is on how all the various technologies work together to make a smart space safer, more productive for the users of the space, and easier to interact with. The interactions that occur in a dynamic environment and the use of the resulting data are what make a place smart. Latin America COVID-related challenges should not be viewed as one-off discrete problems that need to be dealt with via siloed, temporary, problem-specific solutions but rather an opportunity to use technology and related processes to improve public spaces both for today and tomorrow, to provide the user with an environment that both motivates them to live and work there, and that allows users to better connect to and interact with their surroundings. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sajid-khan-247894_intels-smart-spaces-ebook-activity-6858815287609950209-uh5c https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sajid-khan-247894_intels-smart-spaces-ebook-activity-6858815287609950209-uh5c Technology solutions to reopen businesses and facilities and enhance the security and safety of people after the Covid 19 shutdown GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities Financing digital urban innovation Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable 4313088772661.73 17637690.1657559

Through a mobile application or a web platform, public workers can register and geolocate all social assistance issues and citizens/groups associated. Then, the platform allows the management of that data, with multidimensional filters and also the visualization of statistics, dashboards, reports, heat maps, etc. Housing Innovation Migration MuniSocial empowers governments with technology to better register, manage and monitor social assistance and have a geolocated and real-time basis for decision making. MuniSocial is an integral platform (web & app) that helps governments in the registration, management and monitoring of social assistance. We are currently working with more than 200 cities in the digitization of those social assistance processes, enhancing efficiency through the geolocation, real-time information and traceability of different social benefits (municipal, state and national) and their association to individuals and family groups. More specifically, the platform offers: traceability of each incident and citizen; administrative management, such as documents and certifications; stock control (i.e. food and materials); offline use for field registering; notifications and alerts (both internal and external). Additionally, it shows statistical reports, dashboards, maps with multidimensional filters that organize and display geolocated and zoned records. These tools make it possible to analyze and plan strategies according to each government agency and its needs. Latin America, Central America, Spain Our platform has a high impact on the population, especially in those marginalized sectors. In most cities there is not a systematized way of registering information, needs, requirements, urgencies that people or NGOs have; our platform gives the government (we also give access to registration to NGOs if required) a solution to register and trace that information, assuring an efficient and quick response to situations where time really makes a difference. For instance, we are working with Buenos Aires in the whole process for registering and managing the needs and situation of homeless people, and they have seen a huge improvement, as before they did it in paper, with long forms and procedures that revictimized those people in need (asking them the same information several times, derivations to several areas, lost information, no traceability, no interconnection with other systems, no association with family groups, etc.) Also, through management and analysis, the platform helps governments to make better decisions and reach efficiently to more people. For example, one of the cities that uses MuniSocial —City of Carlos Paz, Argentina— won the “Gobernarte 2020” awarded by the Interamerican Development Bank (IDB) due to the innovative management of social issues in the Covid-19 pandemic. https://munidigital.tech/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q2OzfdgIf6qVMavnwgEW6xE2np5uAehy/view?usp=sharing MuniSocial helps governments to digitally register and manage social assistance issues, gathering in the same platform all the information related to each citizen: the platform links each person with the social programs he/she is enrolled, the vaccines applied, benefits received; and also keeps track of the family group and the assistance receive by them. This has been highly effective in the pandemic, as our cities are using the platform to manage food delivery processes, or cash incentives for small businesses, vaccines, etc. The City of Carlos Paz, Argentina, is one of those examples, as they manage all the social and health assistance (including vaccines and testing) with MuniSocial; that led them to win the “Gobernarte 2020” award of the Interamerican Development Bank (IDB).

Governance Innovation Urban Policy Open data portal with more than 250 datasets with information accessible for all. The open data plan of the city of Buenos Aires started one year ahead of the launch of the city’s open data portal in 2012. In recognising the need for innovative approaches to develop new policies, the government initially approved a decree to support guidelines for transparency, collaboration and citizen participation. With the legal foundations in place, it then began to identify and collect datasets from different departments, a process that was supported by guidelines helping different areas and teams convert existing data to open formats. Collaboration across different teams and stakeholders was crucial for the government to implement the open data portal. It also included expanding the knowledge of open data architecture and tools needed for the city staff through training programmes and making use of social tools such as hackathons to foster the development of innovative solutions for the needs of the city and its residents.

Great public spaces are places people can get to, stay, connect, play, and participate. The Guide starts with people and their needs as the driver of any smart city solution in public space. It considers that quality public space is where a diversity of people feel welcome and included to visit, connect, and dwell, and how technology can enable this. It brings technology to the forefront when planning, delivering, or managing a public space in a way that any community member, or specialist can access. The Guide highlights the role of technology in quality public spaces including: (1) generating and collecting data via sensors, GPS, social data, and pedestrian counting technologies; (2) housing and protecting data via data platform technologies; (3) analysing and sharing data via machine learning, AI tools, and open data API technologies; (4) communicating the data via public display boards; and (5) connecting the community to each other and the data through street furniture; watches, phones, and tablets; internet dashboards; speakers, alarms/alerts; and digital twin visualisation technologies. The Guide showcases the importance of digital connectivity to transfer and communicate data and insights, including providing for power and fibre, 4G/5G mobile networks, Internet of Things networks, wi-fi, and bluetooth. The Guide uses simplified bespoke graphic design to showcase how smart public spaces look, and how technologies can be effectively embedded into the day-to-day operations and experiences of the people who live, work, and play there. Public Space Planning and Design Urban Policy The NSW Smart Public Spaces Guide (the Guide) introduces the role of technology in the planning, delivery, and management of quality public space and supports the community to have access to information, to connect, and to dwell in quality public space. COVID-19 has shaped our experiences and the way we live in profound ways. It has changed our priorities. Creating smart public spaces has never been more important. The community highly values public spaces for the central role they play in our experience of living in urban centres and cities. People are also more connected than ever before. The rise of digital solutions and new technologies has helped us participate in civic life in new ways. The NSW Smart Public Spaces Guide (the Guide) brings these 2 big shifts together. It is designed to spark ideas and encourage people to harness innovative new approaches to delivering quality public spaces for our communities. It showcases the ways that connected technologies can be used to improve the quality of public spaces, and the experience of people using them. It does this by marrying technologies to public space outcomes, and shares case studies showing the practical application of technologies to the public realm. By promoting an approach that responds to the needs of the people, including their diversity, equity, and inclusion needs, the Guide notes that quality smart public spaces harness and embrace innovation and opportunity. The Guide highlights opportunities for all people involved in place design and management to consider the role of technologies in delivering public spaces that are smart, resilient, and sustainable, responsive to community needs, and are efficiently run. It helps governments to consider technology and data solutions as part of everyday business from governance processes, to the design and delivery of public spaces, to asset management, and delivery of essential services. The Guide also signposts additional resources and guidance materials, like the NSW Smart Places Customer Charter, NSW Smart Places Playbook and NSW Great Public Spaces Toolkit, to assist place managers and designers to take the next steps to deliver on these ideas. This suite of documents comprises best practice approaches to embedding community co-design, First Nations approaches, and focusing on the outcomes and ambitions of people and place in design. Given the fast-paced nature of technological change and innovation, as well as a changing climate and growing population, resilience and sustainability are core components of the Guide. The Guide supports continuous improvement of public spaces by anticipating and keeping pace with changing community needs. The Guide advocates for smart public spaces that are designed to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (sustainable) and can adapt in a complex and changing environment (resilient). The Guide supports good governance, improved sustainability, and pragmatic government through inclusive digital transformation across three streams to achieve measurable benefits for people: (1) New places and communities (greenfield programs); (2) Redeveloped and renewed places (brownfield programs); and (3) People (capability development, education, and investment attraction). The development of standards, policies, partnerships, procurement, and programs – inspired by the Guide – are the ‘building blocks’ to achieve smart public space outcomes in cities, towns, and communities. Asia Pacific / Australia / New South Wales Smart places start with people and the NSW Smart Public Spaces Guide (the Guide) encourages people and community to be placed at the centre of public space design to improve outcomes for citizens, the environment, and local economies. It will also drive inclusivity and accessibility. It does this by supporting place managers and designers to adopt technologies and undertake data-driven decision making to achieve these outcomes. It outlines the digital and smart infrastructure needed to connect people in public space, provide feedback and stay longer. The Guide advances ICT capability by promoting smart public spaces and will enhance the ability of people to engage with governments on the design and management of the public spaces they visit. The Guide aligns with related initiatives from the Australian Government, local councils throughout NSW, as well as delivery partners in the private sector. It advocates for a place-based and people first approach to smart public spaces and connected infrastructure. The Guide supports the NSW Smart Infrastructure Policy which sets the minimum requirements for smart technology to be embedded in all new and upgraded infrastructure. The role of digital services, such as tele-health, online learning, remote working, and virtual social connections, is increasing. According to the Australian Digital Inclusion Index (2020), more than 2.5 million Australians still face barriers to digital participation. People in some parts of NSW experience limited connectivity and as response, the Guide provides practical tools to improve access to digital services in public spaces that can improve quality of life, promote economic wellbeing, and improve social and education outcomes. The Guide promotes public participation as the best way to establish how digital inclusivity can be achieved locally. The Guide seeks to reduce the digital divide by making it easier for people to use and benefit from technology in public spaces, to access the internet and use online services. Where reliant on direct interaction with technology, the Guide promotes smart public spaces catering to a range of digital skill levels and should not exclude people who have limited access to, or choose not to use, digital services. New smart public space initiatives are also an opportunity to increase digital capability by working with local and First Nations’ start-ups. https://www.dpie.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/487056/NSW-Smart-Public-Spaces-Guide.pdf https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1b9Kd9kLEgOwWgqe-1VRJ36Yd-NivVw9w?usp=sharing COVID-19 has shaped our experiences and the way we live in profound ways.

Energy Metropolitan Management Innovation A solar-powered cloud-based map integrated dustbin load-monitoring system for effective waste collection. An enormous amount of waste is produced annually worldwide which poses a great threat to the environment and has become an intensive public concern in many countries. Landfills and incineration are the major final destination of the wastes at present however, before they reach the final destination they go through several layers, one being the collection process of the wastes in the nearby dumpsters. But the major issue arises as these dumpsters often get filled-up very fast, creating a shortage of places to dump the wastes, making the surrounding area messier and filled with excess wastes. On the other hand, some dumpsters get filled-up slowly and there’s no need for collection until later on. Here is where we stand, we are proposing an innovative, cost effective smart dumpster which will save time for the waste collection authority as well as generate a map, indicating the dumpsters and their waste amount. We’re creating an integrated Smart Dumpster technology where everything related to the collection process will be incorporated. This includes an ultrasonic sensor which will supply the data of the dumpster, how much of it is full. This real-time data will be available in the App and Website. The app will have a map integrated from there the location of the dumpsters and their amount filled can be seen. A general dumpster with 2 lids on the top will be used with a sensor inside. The top of the dumpster will be pyramidal. This is for an ideal type dumpster but existing ones can be modified for implications of the sensors. The sensor will operate through solar power. It will transmit Dustbin ID, Dustbin Battery level (for solar power recharge), Dustbin fill up percentage and its location. Transmitted information will be stored in the official database. Stored data will be available for workers and the public for research, analysis, route optimization etc. Real time feedback by mobile application and website will be possible and observation will be possible by real time dashboard. By these smart dumpsters we’re trying to minimize the adverse environmental effects caused by indiscriminate disposal. Foul odor generation near waste storage bins that are not emptied regularly or not washed and disinfected periodically will be mitigated. Reduction of spreading of waste due to inconvenient ways of solid waste management will be ensured. Safety from health risk and vector borne diseases will be possible. An effective Communal Waste Collection System and use of Stationary Container Systems by an inclusive and economical approach will be implemented. Dhaka, Bangladesh, South Asia. This approach is economically viable as existing dumpsters will be modified and renewable energy will be used. Public convenience is ensured by involving GIS-based mobile applications and web platforms for feedback. Real time monitoring will be possible by authority with signals received from the dustbin. Effective collection can be implemented by route optimization based on data mapping while avoiding barely full dumpsters and collecting wastes from the fully loaded dumpsters. Environmental soundness can be achieved by involvement of solar energy and mitigation of indiscriminate waste disposal and spreading of waste and vector-based diseases. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/109BJj3jBlRTJZejHF7RDBT5KeVm5tENE?usp=sharing GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 13: Climate Action Digital empowerment & capacity building Strengthening digital capacity-building Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable 165644274516.611 4928216.77619007

Governance Innovation Gender Inclusion Application to check for illegal garbage dumps with the possibility to file a report. Developed at a hackathon in 2013, and based on a model of ‘actionable data’, YamaYama used the open source software #GreenAlert to help citizens in Nigeria check if the garbage dumps in their neighbourhoods are operating under proper licence conditions. If found to be illegal, citizens could alert the authorities. The open source software, originally called #GreenAlert, was later repackaged as #alertMe, supporting georeferencing and mapping of the garbage dumps, with the possibility for the community to organise petitions and demand actions from regulatory agencies. All the software code is open source, and datasets are also available through Nigeria’s open source database openAfrica. The main requirement is that all data on open Africa must be actionable, or “data that helps people to change the world”. Benin / Nigeria YamaYama also helps citizens ensure that the legal dumps are operating within their license conditions. If they violate their licenses, YamaYama helps citizens organise themselves, helps them alert authorities, and helps launch petitions to demand action by regulatory authorities. https://yamayama.codefornigeria.org/about https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hFLZ2c6DrdUAEYh20C0TaOFuOgKLuDWt/view?usp=sharing NA GOAL 13: Climate Action GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 5: Gender Equality Digital empowerment & capacity building Promoting digital public goods to create a more equitable world Ensuring the protection of human rights in the digital era 120390698273.114 1916460.39198053

The community had recently its community center renewed by the project with new showers, electric cable installation and a rooftop that contains a solar heater and PV panels. As another component, led light poles were installed on its streets and connected to the PV energy supply to provide illumination and safety for the community at night. Climate change Slum Upgrading Energy An online dashboard that gathers and shares data of solar energy production, impact indicators and local demographic data of an informal and vulnerable community of Curitiba, that was chosen as a pilot location for a climate change mitigation project based on the use of the Google Environmental Insights Explorer tool. The solution is a dashboard, using the Power BI platform, with internet access, for dissemination and monitoring of the main results. Contributing to social engagement and environmental awareness, which also presents itself as a social benefit. It should also be added that this experience serves as a subsidy for the formulation of public policies in the environmental and social areas, given its context of implementation in a community with high infrastructure and socioeconomic vulnerability. To assess the impacts generated by the SOLAR Project, 2 groups of indicators were initially defined. The first set evaluates the results considering the GHG emission reduction in a quantified way (both in absolute terms and percentages) from a perspective of environmental benefits. The second set puts social benefits under a lens, measured qualitatively, considering the gains brought to social minorities (women, blacks, low-income, elderly, people with disabilities and immigrants), an increase in the degree of social engagement and environmental awareness, raising the level of knowledge about the generation and consumption of clean and sustainable energy, and, finally, the improvements that the SOLAR Project can incorporate based on suggestions given by its beneficiaries. The first set of indicators is quantitative in nature. Initially, the impact of the 2 solar energy generation systems is presented in terms of GHG emission reduction, causing climate change - with temperature rise in the medium and long term, which explains the observed occurrence of important disasters caused by rising sea ??level, high speed wind storms, torrential rains with landslides and flooding, blizzards, among others - through 4 emission indicators (E1 to E4). Another set of indicators is qualitative in nature. The first one aims to assess the impact of the project on minorities, identified here, such as women, people of color, people who belong to families with a monthly income per person of less than ½ minimum wage, (low income), the elderly (with the same age or over 60 years old), people with disabilities and immigrants, with regard to their sense of security at night on the street in front of their house and on the way out and into the community. Another qualitative indicator seeks to measure the degree of social engagement and environmental awareness on the part of community residents. Another qualitative indicator shows that the vast majority consider that the SOLAR Project has a positive impact on their lives and none understand any negative effect. Finally, the fourth qualitative indicator, which aims to detect possibilities for improving the SOLAR Project itself at the suggestion of the residents themselves. In summary, the solution is presented on the dashboard in 6 panels, with data on: 1. GHG reduction; 2. Socioeconomic profile of the population; 3. Photovoltaic Energy Production; 4. Socioeconomic profile of shower users; 5. Public lighting; 6. Qualitative assessment. All available data regarding energy production and consumption are collected with the inverter's data manager and socioeconomic data are collected in field surveys to monitor the qualitative impact of the project. The project is located on the outskirts of Curitiba, State of Paraná, Brazil The March 29th Community was the chosen vulnerable territory in Curitiba for receiving one for the selected Action Fund Brazil’s projects. The remodeling of the community centre with the application of two photovoltaic solar energy systems and one solar heating system was finished, thanks to data available in the EIE for the city of Curitiba. Another infrastructure component that was installed thanks to the project is a light pole micro grid, providing public lighting with LED lamps, that are fed by one of the PV systems. In addition to the aspects raised in a formal and structured way, it is possible to perceive the positive impact on the lives of people in the community. According to the testimony of the community leader, Juliana Teixeira, one can see the degree of importance of the solar water heating system in place of the electrically powered shower from the communal bathroom: “Heating of water here in our bathroom is very important, the energy here doesn't work right. So now taking a hot shower is very important for us. Some people don't have a bathroom at home or the electric shower sometimes burns...” Also, according to Juliana, with regard to the lighting system of the street, “Now (it's) all enlightened, I'm very happy, the community is happy for the energy. We're even thinking we're in a fancy city!” An elderly resident, Mr. Agenor, said: “Here we live in darkness. Now it will be very good! Wonderful! Look at the clarity you are going to provide now here for the community. Very good! very good! It's pitch black here at night, it’s not possible to walk by here. I am not able to get out. This man in front leaves at 5 o'clock in the morning and here everything is in the dark. And if it's raining, he can't walk there, the bus is there, he has to go here. And with the children (...) It will be a blessing! It will be a boom for the community. Thanks". Another resident, Mrs. Naya, reported that: “During the pandemic, children stayed at home, and it was very complicated. Their parents work and even with the reopening of schools, many parents are afraid to send their children. Then the children stay here all day in the community with nowhere to go. As the power fails, the computers at the headquarters do not work. Now if the energy will be stable, they can use their thirst better. Not just the kids, but also teenagers. It's going to be really, really cool!” And she continued: “Our street here is veryyy dark. In the dead of night, we are very, very afraid, but now with the light we will feel safer. So the feeling is more security, it brings more safety for us". Another statement was given by Vitor, son of Naya, a 7-year-old boy, who informed that in front of his house there was no light. “Now it's really good, because at night everything is illuminated”. When asked if he was afraid to go out on the street, he informed “Now I am not”. Her sister, 10-year-old Vitória, confirmed that in front of her house was dark and now: "'It's very bright, the night is very bright! and "That's very cool, because sometimes my brother and I play more by the light”. Let's focus on some characteristics of the community, which are important for the comprehension of the scale and local context, there isn't a formal power grid nor a formal water network. This community has 605 inhabitants, living in 222 houses. All these people are direct beneficiaries of the project and more than 50% are minorities (black, disabled, women, immigrants). Their monthly per capita income is U$ 72, 4 times less than Curitiba’s income. Regarding density the community is almost 9 times denser than Curitiba. It is also the reality of the 3 other communities which are real close to 29 de Março. More than 3,500 people live in those conditions, nowadays. The data help us to understand that the project provides not only clean and renewable energy for the community, but also it guarantees universal access to the basic rights and it is life-changing. http://ambiens.redelivre.org.br/dashboard/ https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GLZbBgQh7wssTFjZKXoQ8_q8ZP6DoOKv?usp=sharing Apart from the dashboard, the project contains a component of energy access and security. Energy generation is made via PV panels, that feed the community centre’s computers and keep a stable internet connection. It allows vulnerable people to have access to Pandemic information such as restrictions, vaccination schedules and general situation, increasing their coping capacity and response to COVID 19. Additionally, the installed hot showers provide locals the satisfaction of basic sanitation, necessary for keeping their immunity and health condition.

Innovation Planning and Design Climate Change Hybrid network using solar energy to reduce cost and increase population reach. Around four billion people worldwide are not connected to the internet, and a billion people live in areas with no internet or mobile coverage, the majority of which are concentrated in remote areas. Poor rural infrastructure poses a major economic obstacle for mobile and internet providers looking to invest in rural networks. In Cambodia, 79% of the population live in rural areas, but only 50% are connected to the electricity grid (37% in rural areas). The lack of appropriate energy infrastructure makes it impossible to adequately maintain internet equipment, whether in the form of cable networks or receiver towers. Finally, road infrastructure further complicates the installation of necessary equipment. In response to these challenges, local mobile operator Cellcard (a private company, and the third-largest mobile provider in Cambodia) began looking into an alternative power supply for its mobile telecommunication towers: solar power and diesel generators. These two power sources bypass the need for grid connection, yet pose their own challenges: large diesel storage tanks are targets for thieves, and solar panels have variable site performance and break easily. As a result, Cellcard went for a hybrid solution, installing solar-powered towers that run on diesel 2-6 hours per day. As a result, 92% of Cellcard’s rural sites (2,362 units) were connected to the hybrid energy supply. Cellcard invited GSMA, a global mobile operators consultant, to evaluate its strategy. According to GSMA’s report, using hybrid diesel-solar sites allowed for 32% savings on fuel cost, which is the equivalent of 38.4 metric tonnes of CO2 per year. Cellcard saved $9.8 million through the use of these hybrid sites. Though the hybrid solution offset the high costs of fully solar-powered sites, a full shift to renewable energy sources would further reduce maintenance costs in the long term of this endeavor. GSMA estimated that even though diesel or hybrid sites have lower upfront costs, their maintenance costs are larger compared to solar-powered sites. Within 3-5 years after deployment, the total cost associated with solar-powered sites became lower than the total cost associated with a diesel-powered or a hybrid site. According to the model, by shifting its hybrid stations to fully solar-powered sites, Cellcard could reach an additional 4% of the population. Lessons learned: The challenge of installing and maintaining telecommunication towers is tied to other infrastructural challenges, such as transportation opportunities and the electricity grid. Rural telecommunication towers can be effectively powered with renewable energy. Installing hybrid solar and diesel powered stations upfront cost savings, but switching to fully solar is more profitable after 5 years of operation. Cambodia From a digital inclusion perspective, these savings are crucial, as they allow operators to invest in areas with lower revenues and still make a profit, resulting in higher population coverage. We estimate that the introductions of solar hybrid mean that Cellcard could cover 85% of the population in an economically sustainable manner, as opposed to 84% of the population under the ‘diesel-only’ scenario. https://www.gsma.com/mobilefordevelopment/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/M4D_Case_Study_Cellcard_Cambodia_Solar_Power_2018.pdf https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F8Awe2kgeH1vb7dvdHB1I4R-GgBXR-Js/view?usp=sharing NA GOAL 13: Climate Action GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth Financing digital urban innovation Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Strengthening digital capacity-building 192219005812.459 2478641.24674252

It was in this context of a sharp rise in urgent needs and of a reduction in available community resources that the project started up. Its innovative in the way that we give prepaid cards, instead of paper coupons for example, to person that live in a situation of food insecurity and they can be used at any of the participating markets to purchase food items that are sourced from local farms. It has a double objective which is first helping to make healthy food more accessible to all and to encourage local food systems. We have various partners in our project: the farmers markets, located in different neighborhood in Montreal, and non-profit organisation, mostly working in food security, but not only. At the beginning of each month, we put an amount that varies depending on the size of the household, which is 25$ for a single person, 50$ for a household of two person and 100$ for a household of three person and more, from July to October. With the Carte Proximité, participants can buy local fruits and vegetables, milk, non-dairy milks, eggs, as well as various food items sourced directly from local producers (that could include cheese, yogurt, meat or tofu, as well a any prepared dishes that are made with product from the farm). This year, we collaborated with 12 different markets, but if we count their different localisations, it was a total of 32 selling point were the card could be used. We also collaborated with 37 non-profit organisations that selected the participant and assured the follow-up during the summer. In total, about 13 hundred household received a proximity card, and we can estimate that about 37 hundred people we reached with our program. Montreal The results from last year shows an increase of 0.9 servings per day per person of fruits and vegetables from the start to the end of the project, which is an enormous impact. Also the study showed that Carte Proximité attracted new regular clients to participating markets and the majority of respondents reported an increase in the quantity and variety of fruits and vegetables purchased, and a decrease in personal money spent on their weekly groceries. https://carteproximite.org/ https://vimeo.com/430100585 yes! People living alone and hard hit by the pandemic were able to purchase food with dignity according to their needs and preferences. We enabled them to put more local fruits and vegetables on their plates and to support our food producers. Every month, these persons received a deposit on their Proximity Card. They then could use their card in one of the many farmer’s and solidarity markets in Montreal to buy fresh and delicious food.

We then measure the impact of mobility actions. The data that we share allow the urban ecosystem to plan future mobility services based on informed decision-making. This initiative aims to make Montréal a more open city La fabrique des mobilités is testing a participatory approach to collecting and sharing parking data using an application developed with Jalon. This initiative is carried out in partnership with CRE Mtl. Another ongoing experiment focuses on curb visualization tools and citizens' appetite for access to data on parking rules. This is a map showing parking rights hosted by the SdC de la Plaza St-Hubert on its website. This is a first use case integrating open data, parking meters and free parking managed by the city of Montreal, demonstrating the great potential offered by the digitization of shore track data. Other learning and projects are being built around discussions with the borough of Rosemont la Petite Patrie and the LIUM around the reliability, updating and accessibility of parking data. Finding use cases and creating digital commons from open data is the best way to demonstrate its value, creating a virtuous circle. Montreal is fortunate to have a rich ecosystem, reflecting a growing interest in digital solutions for citizens: a boon for developing new ways of curbside. Montréal La Fabrique des Mobilités Québec is a center of excellence in innovation open to mobility issues. Bringing together entrepreneurs, startups, public actors but also citizens, we support the deployment of sustainable mobility solutions by delivering methodological resources and commons to facilitate the identification by communities of added value for their citizens.

Ltd Start-up Eastern and South-Eastern Asia http://www.urbanxyz.com/ maomingrui@urbanxyz.com Low-cost technology for managing shared-bike in public spaces Online Platform Project/Program IoT Bluetooth scan, NB-IoT, solar power, data storage, data analysis, data visualisation and information management system Metropolitan Management Mobility and Transport This solution uses a low-cost technology for addressing one of the challenges in urban management that is caused by the growing number of shared bikes. As the main way to solve the "last mile" of public transportation, shared bicycles have become an indispensable part of people's life and travel. While bringing convenience to us, it also adds a burden to the city. Sharing bike congestion in some hotspots has been one of the major issues in urban management. These problem areas include subway stations, bus stops, office buildings and large residential areas. Some city government argues to remove all shared bike on the streets and ban private companies using public space for profits. The proponents of shared bikes argue that they also help reduce mobility inequality. To Beijing Quadrant Technology, we believe sustainable cities need shared bikes, but the challenges also should be taken seriously and can be addressed. To address this challenge, ideally local government or communities can respond and develop strategies if shared-bike companies can share data. However, this is not easy in various context. Therefore, the team developed this low-cost IoT sensers, whose energy is supported by self-equipped solar panels. Connecting the sensors with an algorithm-based computing system through a network support by NB-IoT, a complete management system of shared bike can efficiently monitor the number of shared bikes, degree of overload, companies’ bike relocation/removal behavioral patterns, and space cleaning efficiency, as well as the number of ‘zombie bikes’ and unpermitted bike dispatch by bike companies. Moreover, the real-time data of shared bikes can also serve as evidence for urban renewal in the near future. Additionally, the devices are low-cost and energy-efficient comparing to cameras or digital rails. It could be especially replicable in developing countries or citizen initiatives in any countries Sensors and management system: As shared bikes commonly use blue-tooth locks, the sensors scan the codes of individual shared bikes and identify numbers after automatic analysis. With these sensors, a perceptive network in key parking areas of shared bicycles in street blocks can be built. The networked data realizes full-time monitoring, and is represented on a management system which include dashboards, responding and personnel dispatch panels. Urban management: Based on all collected data from parking hotspots, the parking patterns of different spots provide the basis for the optimization of the governance strategy. First, the city or community managers can identify unpermitted parking behaviour and accordingly decide the amount of bicycles that can be removed or relocated; second, the managers can identify the bicycles that are not used frequently. This can be caused by bike damages and inaction of bike companies. In this sense, the managers can decide whether to remove the bikes. Third, the system optimises the centralised bike relocation by knowing the peak values. In this way, city or community managers can manage the competition among shared-bike companies during the peak hours. Last, through long-term monitoring and the use of bicycles to determine the trend, to a certain extent, it tames the bike dispatching and cleaning behavioral patterns of shared bicycle companies. Urban renewal: In the design stage of urban renewal, more data evidence is needed. During the renovation process of Xuanwu Men and Anding Men subway stations in Beijing, the team used intelligent sensing devices to obtain real-time parking data of shared bikes in the square in front of the exit. The data analysis then assisted designers to better design the parking area for non-motor vehicles in the renovation plan. Beijing, China, East Asia - Urban management The first batch of sensors were installed at Shuangjing Neighbourhood in Beijing, as part of the second phase of the International Sustainable Development Community Pilot. At one of the hotspots at the conjunction of Baiziwan Road and Jiulongsha Road, before introducing the system, the number of bikes stayed above 200. The pedestrian way was long been occupied and crowded by shared bikes. The system largely helped the neighbourhood management office to keep the number of bikes under a reasonable level, especially during the night time. The pedestrian space is returned to pedestrians. Now this solution has been replicated to 5 neighbourhoods in Beijing, including Wangjing, Xuanwumen, Andingmen, Tiantongyuan North, and Huilongguan area. - urban renewal As mentioned earlier, in the design stage of urban renewal, the monitoring of the number of shared bikes can provide good data support to planning and design. For example, in the renewal project of Anding Men Subway Station, the team used the parking data of shared bikes at the before-renovated subway station to calculate the space demand for shared bikes. It was based on the calculation of non-motor vehicle connection demand, and projected the amount of shared bikes that could park at the new subway entrance. The solution has been replicated to Xuanwumen Subway station. Several are under preparation. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tCUawp0Wllkze52htuu_uFLHSHE33iw1?usp=sharing Covid-19 leads to increase in the number of bicycle commuters in many cities. It further contributes to the use of shared bikes and the governance problems caused by it.

The tool is intended to be articulated to Costa Rica's ongoing program on Earth Observation for SDG's by the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE), the “Participatory Mapping of Public Spaces Strategy” by the Ministry of Housing and Human Settlements of Costa Rica (MIVAH), the Judicial Branch dataset on street harassment allegations, and the ongoing online assessment questionnaire and research developed by Urbanalytica, as part of our Safe & Healthy Cities initiative for Women in Costa Rica. Gender inclusion Innovation Public Space The PSAT tool is a participatory mapping platform where women and girls can both RATE and FIND information on public spaces and urban conditions around them. The main goals are geolocating key issues, extracting accurate data for better solutions, and providing information that enhances women’s daily activities in their communities. In recent years there has been a growing concern among Costa Rican citizens about the poor conditions and insecurity present in most of the country's public spaces. In fact, gender violence in cities, specifically in public spaces, has become a growing public health problem throughout the Latin American region. Even though the root cause lies significantly in patriarchal social systems, the lack of adequate urban infrastructure, policies, and accurate data exacerbates it. However, safety is not the only challenge women face in urbanized areas, since an alarming decline in their overall health and fertility rates has been linked to urban pollution concentrations. Addressing the main obstacles that women face regarding their right to a healthy, inclusive and safe city, becomes a public health priority, especially in light of the current planetary crisis. For this reason, the Participatory Assessment tool of these spaces (in terms of accessibility, transportation, green and recreational areas, services, among others) would facilitate understanding where key issues are happening, obtaining accurate data, and providing information to enhance women’s daily activities in their communities. Having geolocated information facilitates working towards gender equality and addresses the worrying situation of vulnerability that Latin American women are experiencing. The PSAT tool will allow women and girls to report existing and/or potential problems of various kinds (security, transportation, infrastructure, etc.). Likewise, they will be able to identify quality, safe and inclusive public areas to carry out their activities. In this way, it becomes a platform that encourages them to point out what they need, what is not working, what is urgent, and why not, what they dream of in their cities and communities. In this way, women pass from a 'passive' to an 'active' role, through empowerment, collaboration, and co-creation of solutions. The platform's end-users are women and girls (who at the same time become co-creators) and public/private entities from the urban planning field that will benefit from this information, always for the community's well-being and development. The initial prototype is proposed at a local scale (neighborhood) after which it will be expanded to the Greater Metropolitan Area in Costa Rica. In the next phases, it will expand throughout the national territory, to then proceed to be scaled to other urban contexts in Latin America. The pilot project will be developed and tested in Costa Rica, with the aim of scaling the solution to other countries in Latin America The Participatory Assessment tool of public spaces would facilitate understanding where key issues are happening, obtaining accurate data, and providing information to enhance women’s daily activities in their communities. Having geolocated information facilitates working towards gender equality and addresses the worrying situation of vulnerability that Latin American women are experiencing. The PSAT tool is projected to be integrated with and work alongside other relevant stakeholders from the public sector (municipalities, policymakers), the private sector, Costa Rican startups, the Academia, urban innovation laboratories, and Civil society Organizations. https://www.canva.com/design/DAEyle2VVpY/MCaTSM0swUH5AP6Uux35dQ/view?utm_content=DAEyle2VVpY&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=viewer https://www.canva.com/design/DAEyle2VVpY/MCaTSM0swUH5AP6Uux35dQ/view?utm_content=DAEyle2VVpY&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=viewer GOAL 5: Gender Equality GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 13: Climate Action Financing digital urban innovation Policy transformation Promoting digital public goods to create a more equitable world Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable 52969310866.6118 1645446.2658666

HarassMap is a volunteer-run initiative which began in Egypt in 2010. It began with the goal of simply mapping out where sexual harassment occurs - with anyone allowed to anonymously mark the locations of, and describe, relevant incidents. HarassMap is largely a Cairo initiative to this day, with the vast majority of data points found in and around the city. The map of data points produced collectively by its users manages to produce a sort of heat map of sexual harassment in Egypt, showcasing the extent of the problem. It also allows users to mark and describe interventions to sexual harassment, in this way at the same time showing users that both sexual harassment and intervening in sexual harassment are quite common. With a limited official response to this problem and with victims’ discussion relatively taboo, this format - crowdsourcing, with victims able to post anonymously - allows for the wide scale collection of data. HarassMap has therefore also produced some valuable research on sexual harassment in Egypt based on the information the platform has collected. HarassMap has also worked with various educational institutions and NGOs, its volunteers have also led workshops and campaigns against sexual harassment across Egypt, and it has partnered with similar organizations around the world. HarassMap has served as a blueprint for projects worldwide, and showcases a situation in which a crowdsourcing platform can set the stage for real social change. Cairo, Egypt When enough people take action, harassers will find it harder and harder to harass. They will face consequences on the street, in their workplace, from friends and family and coworkers, and eventually they will choose to not harass at all. This is when we reach our goal - zero-tolerance will be the norm and sexual harassment will decrease in Egypt. https://harassmap.org/en/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MwotQ2rfNR33HSM9BCQk-pQDXgsafhsQ/view?usp=sharing NA GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 5: Gender Equality GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth Digital empowerment & capacity building Digital policy transformation Promoting digital public goods to create a more equitable world 1255080668264.73 6285391.57274359

At the beginning of its journey, Estonia faced challenges associated with the digital divide and did not have a data collection and governance strategy. It credits much of its success to the population, who was open to adopting new digital solutions, and to the fact that technology has helped to optimise resources and maximise efficiency. The local government measures success of digital transformation using several indicators including the electronic identification for all users (almost 98% of the population), years of working time saved thanks to data exchange (844 years every year) and healthcare outcomes (99% of patients in the country have digital records). The principles of the Estonian e-governance strategy include: Integrity - data information and communication are fully accountable Interconnectivity - all services and data are interoperable and available for access Transparency - citizens can verify their personal information and how it is used For the future, Estonia plans to digitize all basic services, providing citizens with a good user experience to access e-services automatically and without disruption. The availability of digital solutions also aims to build competitive advantage for the country, developing the capacity of running business onlines, having real-time economic transactions and investing in digital resources for education and skills.

Metropolitan Management How citizen centric services deployed through cities could be scaled up and support authorities, researchers and the public itself to avoid and - if needed - to better control expected forthcoming pandemics. The technology platform we need to support the Individual Centric Advisory and Warning Services (ICAWAS) integrates different emerging technologies that should rapidly scale up and be deployed on top of Personal Data Intermediaries (PDIs) - per EU Data Governance Act - in a few weeks after declaration of onset of an outbreak. The PDIs are expected to include basic services such as identity management, consent management, and a Digital Wallet supporting different types of credentials used by citizens to support increased mobility in safety. The following components need to be added to support Pandemic management. 1. Integration of relevant personal data coming from different data sources, into an outbreak specific individual profile, with the consent and support of the citizen; this profile should be based on the widely accepted HL7 FHIR standard to ensure interoperability. 2. A Pandemic Knowledge Base (KB) containing - in a machine readable format - the public health measures (also known as non pharmaceutical interventions or NPIs), that are of application at a certain moment. This KB is constantly updated by the national authorities, based on the evolution of the understanding on how the pathogen spread and on the evolution of the pandemic. This KB should also - ideally - be harmonized across countries. 3. An Intelligent Virtual Personal Assistant that supports individuals at their level of data and health literacy and is capable to adapt to different types of individual profiles; it helps citizens to access pandemic knowledge (from the KB) of specific value for their context, manages their data, and incentivizes them to improve the quality of their own personal data profile and share them in trust with authorities and/or researchers. 4. Link the IVA with consent management functions in the PDIs to increase comfort of citizens when sharing their outbreak specific profile data with authorities and researchers, who in turn can develop adequate medical countermeasures and adapt NPIs. 5. A Population Data Commons that consolidates information shared by the individuals, with their consent, at the population level; data can be pseudonymized for the period of time of contagion of a specific pathogen, and then be anonymized for further statistics. With the data regularly collected in the Population Data Commons, authorities maintain different levels of confinement (segmentation) with different types of “pass through gate” credentials - such as immunization profile, contagion score, mobility score - enabling them to control the outbreak in a more effective and targeted way. Global (pathogens have no borders) We are still in design phase - and learning. We however believe that our solution may have a major impact in the forthcoming pandemics by avoiding the "one size fits it all confinement" and citizens misinformation/ frustration we have seen in COVID with economical, health and educational impact. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gWqHPpxdwshbWvCUsbhlUnykLQXmwCDS/edit# (see picture in the document provided above - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gWqHPpxdwshbWvCUsbhlUnykLQXmwCDS/edit#) It was inspired by COVID and its objective is to - if possible - avoid the same negative impact we have seen we COVID with other, expected, forthcoming pandemics that will hit cities first GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal Policy transformation Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Ensuring the protection of human rights in the digital era Promoting trust and security in the digital environment 1823829330861.73 11212848.6224685

Innovation Planning and Design Metropolitan Management Our core business is to build, maintain and operate a fiber optic network in rural municipalities. The Suupohja FTTH network began in Western Finland with the aim of bringing broadband to rural regions. The program enabled municipalities to bring fiber connections to homes, businesses, and institutions across areas that were formally deprived of broadband access. In 2004, nearly 50 per cent of villages in Suupohja County lacked access to broadband. To meet the demand, municipalities paid hefty prices to rent copper wireline connections. In 2005, several municipalities founded “Suupohjan Seutuverkko Oy” (SSV), a non-profit limited company with a goal to cut broadband costs. This municipally-owned fibre network was able to provide services to local residents and has enabled thousands of households and businesses to be linked with fiber. In addition to facilitating business operations, the network has also increased the property values, boosted GDP growth, and enabled new services that contributed to a better quality of life. SSV owns the network infrastructure and handles maintenance-related duties. It allows service providers to use their networks for free, which reduces end-user prices and increases service quality. To bridge the digital divide, it is crucial for local governments to share knowledge and strengthen collaboration. In doing so, municipalities can best address supply gaps unmet by national providers. It can also reduce costs, increase service quality, and contribute to the socioeconomic development of the region. Suupohja, Finland Fibre has introduced many new possibilities for community work, businesses, private enterprise, education, healthcare, education and entertainment. The fast connections make the region more attractive and people as well as businesses can remain here.The network spans 4,200 square miles across central Maryland and passes approximately 71,000 businesses and 1.8 million households. It incorporates approximately 1,000 linear miles of new fiber and 2,400 miles of existing fiber to directly connect thousands of entities onto a single network. https://wayback.archive-it.org/12090/20201229093150/https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/content/fibre-home-network-suupohja https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZHfx08q_hZ3VMjChbK8N3bV2E3WDd2nC/view?usp=sharing NA GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 10: Reduced Inequalities GOAL 9: Industry Innovation and Infrastructure Financing digital urban innovation Digital policy transformation Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Strengthening digital capacity-building 1162358686747.75 8568682.1721945

Climate change Gender inclusion Governance We simplify and digitalize complex frameworks in disaster risk reduction allowing cities and communities to implement disaster risk reduction plans in a matter of weeks and with very limited external support. H.A.R.D. is a web- and mobile-based platform that takes users on a step-wise approach to assess the risks they face, and develop and implement actions to better prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters and crises by streamlining the flow of relevant information between actors. These include, amongst others: ? Assessing the risk level that the different disasters and crises pose to their cities and communities, supporting the prioritization of actions and application of resources. ? Disseminating information on critical services (e.g. hospitals, pharmacies), their location and contact details and kind of services provided (and update them as the issue develops), via the mobile app to citizens. ? Citizens notifying authorities of events and receive corresponding procedures to be followed according to each type of event, set by relevant institutions. ? Authorities responding and following up on notifications sent by citizens, by directing notifications to the relevant institutions, and allowing them to map notifications spatially and by type and characteristics of the citizen. All cities in the planet that do not have resources to use the currently available tools, or are not offered ongoing support by external entities. In Villa de San Antonio, Honduras, H.A.R.D. was used by the city so as to develop their very first Disaster Risk Reduction strategy. The community association of Safende, in Praia, Cabo Verde, used H.A.R.D. in the first peak of the pandemic to map and disseminate important information to residents, as well as receive alerts sent by them. Finally, the city of Teresina, Brazil, used the tool to validate, complement and analyse info on city resilience to develop its City Resilience Profile document. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Lu0I0y5JQPnRXihoON35GcqwDW4nMaXR?usp=sharing The solution solves problems associated with disasters and crises in an integrated manner - so it supports cities and communities in deriving actions to fight against COVID, but not forgetting that other issues are still arising.

DIPAS can be used for spatial projects in any thematic area DIPAS is a digital system for citizen participation - combining online and on-site participation. DIPAS combines the Hamburg online participation tool with digital planning tables to create an integrated digital system for citizen participation. With DIPAS, citizens can access digital maps, aerial photographs, 3D models and other geodata from home using their smartphones or at events with the help of interactive data tables and provide precisely localised feedback on planning projects. DIPAS is used wherever the city wants to enter into an exchange with its citizens, i.e. in urban planning as well as in the expansion of cycle paths or in the development of climate protection concepts. DIPAS was developed by the Authority for Urban Development and Housing (BSW) with the State Office for Geoinformation and Surveying (LGV) and the CityScienceLab of HCU. The software is open source and was made available under GPL licence in February 2021 to other cities, institutions and research facilities for subsequent use and further development. Mainly used in Hamburg, Germany, but the software is opensource and can be applied anywhere in the world. An additional advantage for the city administration is that the citizens' digital contributions are recorded both online and on site in a common database and can thus be evaluated by the planning departments without media discontinuity and therefore particularly efficiently. https://dipas.org/ https://youtu.be/PI1xlKvMBzU GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 16: Peace and Justice Strong Institutions Digital empowerment & capacity building Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable 907304831831.487 7612964.18964887

Urban Health Public Space Planning and Design The Cockpit Social Infrastructure (CoSI) is a digital analysis and planning tool with an easily accessible user interface, which bundles, visualizes and integrates statistical and georeferenced data to planners of social infrastructure for identifying needs and accelerating planning processes. When planning urban and social infrastructure, decision-making processes by public actors/administrators are often lengthy and rely on heterogeneous datasets in incomplete databases. The planning process, especially the definition of planning goals/needs, is often delayed due to time-consuming data procurement and assessment processes. To tackle this challenge, the database structures built up by the Urban Data Platform of the City of Hamburg were used to establish a GIS-based web application, which can be used for visualization and analysis of data, and simulation of the effects of potential measures. It provides planners with analytical functions to identify socio-demographic relationships to recognize trends, and to determine relationships between the existing infrastructure and the relevant target groups. The tool can be used to identify locations and potentials for infrastructure development. The results of these analyses can be visualized and exported directly from CoSI and used as a basis for decision-making and discussion. CoSI is in active operation thorughout the city administration of Hamburg, Germany. Often, city administrations have large databases with incomplete or heterogenous datasets, making it difficult for planners and decision makers to actually use the data. Social infrastructure planners who want socio-economic, demographic or spatial information about the territory they are planning, oftentimes need to contact their administration's GIS or data departments to request visualisations and analyses. This is often very time-consuming and inefficient. CoSI is bridging this gap. By providing an easy-to-use tool that does not require GIS or data science expertise, CoSI provides planners with simple ways of visualising and analysing relevant information for planning and decision-making. This has made social infrastructure planning in Hamburg more evidence-based and efficient. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlztDnZ4FyU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlztDnZ4FyU CoSI improves social infrastructure planning by making it more evidence-based and efficient. Health-related aspects are an important part of social infrastructure planning, not only actual health infrastructure such as hospitals and pharmacies, but also factors relating to housing conditions, public space and social work. An improved evidence-base and access to information on such aspects for planners can therefore have a significant impact on COVID 19 response.

This digital platform provides solutions for the supply of communications assistance, mobility solutions, e-Gov services, and other resources. Mobile applications and other user-friendly apps were further devised by teams with continuous input from the local community. In addition to boosting local economic activities through the digitalization of vendor services, residents can more easily contribute to the community, such as making suggestions that are directly passed to the responsible administration. The digital village project relies upon a unique ecosystem, whereby all parts of the society are involved in the digitalization of their communities.

Their creation is a long and laborious transformation that should not be considered mainly as a technical challenge but as a movement to create citizen-centered ecosystems that improve quality of life and stimulate economic activity. Smart city ecosystems are comprised of people, organizations and businesses, policies, technologies, legislation, and processes integrated to create the desired outcomes. Within this context, people comprise a vital constituent in these efforts and a highly skilled workforce is key in rendering smart city ecosystems a reality. Although for several years we were working on the development of this new smart ecosystem, quite recently we discovered that the people factor was not considered, sufficiently. We realized that even though billions were invested in technological or urban development, not sufficient effort has been spent in training the necessary workforce with the skills to fulfil this vision. Development of a smart city was considered “business as usual” by the IT vendors, or even yet another case of modern technology deployment. However, this is far from true as smart cities transvers every aspect of our lives and our activities. These observations were our motivation for the SmartDevOps project. The SmartDevOps project (https://smartdevops.eu) was funded by Erasmus+. In the context of this project, several milestones were realized: three new smart cities professions, an extensive list of smart cities-related competences, extensive pilot training attended by hundreds of trainees that validated the training offerings, a network of experts, a community of practice at the European level. This book presents the first version of the Smart Cities Body of Knowledge (SCBoK), which is the most important deliverable of the SmartDevOps project, that is an attempt to systematically approach the topic of required smart cities competences. Furthermore, it offers the curricula that can be used to develop the required knowledge coherently and systematically. Moreover, we address the main question regarding the need of specialized professionals for the development of smart cities and whether this specialization constitutes one or more new, discrete profession(s). The professions and skills presented were derived from various viewpoints, as well as from an international perspective through laborious market research. This research was conducted in the context of the SmartDevOps project, concluding that three new job professions with competences from four distinctive groups, are needed for smart city professionals, namely: • Smart City Planner • Smart City IT Manager • Smart City IT Officer Furthermore, this is a particularly informative and useful book, the content of which you not only need but you must also master, to develop your competences for smart city. This book provides a significant contribution to achieving that. This is the first international book covering smart city professionals’ needs and competences, which makes it not only unique but also important. It offers every smart city stakeholder the opportunity to learn, understand, and apply these smart city competences. Global reach This is the first attempt to describe the required skills/competences and to frame the required smart cities’ professions.

Despite significant issues of poverty and expanding informal settlements, the City did not have a comprehensive mapping of them as late as 2018, which significantly impacted the policymaking process. To address this issue, local NGO TECHO partnered with Dymaxion labs to leverage machine learning to help map informal settlements. The Dymaxion Labs team used a “classifier neural network” (a machine learning algorithm) that had been previously used to map informality in other Latin American cities. The technology made it possible to accurately infer locations of informal settlements by scanning satellite images. As a result, 161 informal settlement areas were identified, accounting for approximately 42,000 families. The satellite mapping was used to inform census survey volunteers conducting field surveys to enhance their ability to correctly survey informal areas, develop policy, plan services, and in some cases relocate residents living in hazardous locations. Tegucigalpa, Honduras Data collection through censuses is conducted every 10 years on average in Latin America, making it difficult to monitor the growth and support needed by communities living in these settlements. Conducting a field survey requires logistical resources to be able to do it exhaustively. The increasing availability of open data, high-resolution satellite images, and free software to process them allow us to be able to do so in a scalable way based on the analysis of these sources of information. This case study shows the collaboration between Dymaxion Labs and the NGO Techo to employ machine learning techniques to create the first informal settlements census of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.14490.pdf https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sSqRRMI_v2tb2BdZmJqM6bzpFVdZWnnc/view?usp=sharing NA GOAL 1: No Poverty GOAL 10: Reduced Inequalities GOAL 9: Industry Innovation and Infrastructure Digital empowerment & capacity building Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Promoting digital public goods to create a more equitable world 120770615148.588 2360503.98784339

The proposed S-DReP framework aims to remove the existing shortcomings in the typical resilience assessment frameworks and to facilitate the neighbourhood resilience assessment and management in HDCs. GIS has been well recognized as a powerful tool to analyze and present multiple information layers in a spatial environment. The utilization of GIS-based decision-support systems is proved to reduce the communication gap between urban researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers through providing a platform for interdisciplinary evaluation. Drawing on an illustrative example in Hong Kong, an interactive platform using GIS-based information is developed to facilitate the exploration of disaster resilience and its patterns in HDCs. To initiate the establishment of such urban resilience knowledge systems along with highlighting their potential, we use the building-level assessment results to develop an interactive platform using ArcGIS Online services and data analytics. The developed portal is an example of resilience-related decision-support platforms, which is equally applicable and useful to current HDCs as well as other rapidly urbanizing areas particularly in the developing world (e.g., Pakistan, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, and so on). This preliminary interactive dashboard can help to explore different sub-indices and overall resilience at two spatial scales (building and CAU level), which has the potential to act as a powerful decision-support system. The entire portal is segmented in four major divisions. Two portions are used to provide a spatial reference to CAUs and buildings (map sections), one section provides information on the scores achieved by different CAUs and buildings (bar-charts), and one section lists all the CAUs. While clicking a certain CAU/building provides the information on overall resilience and the sub-indices, the selection on the list filters the CAU and its corresponding buildings. Climate change Resilience and Risk Reduction Urban Policy Rethinking disaster resilience in high-density cities: towards an urban resilience knowledge system Fostering high-resolution disaster resilience assessment is essential for high-density cities (HDCs) given their congested built environment. This study introduces and demonstrates a spatial disaster resilience profiling (S-DReP) framework for HDCs. First, an indicator set is presented for resilience assessment in HDCs within a built environment. Second, this indicator set is adopted to identify the spatially-varying patterns of neighbourhood disaster resilience in HDCs. In contrast to typical resilience frameworks, the developed framework also takes into account the spatio-environmental factors within the built environment. As an illustrative example, we demonstrate the application of S-DReP framework to one of the most populated districts in Hong Kong, namely Sha Tin. Building-level data for 24 indicators and infrastructure data are used to compute a spatially-relative disaster resilience index. To inform the planners with disparities among different resilience components, the Analysis of Variance approach is employed to explore the distribution of resilience. To identify the priority intervention areas, the spatial assessments are made using several geo-information models. The proposed S-DReP framework provides a roadmap to establish an urban resilience knowledge system in HDCs enabling practitioners, decision-makers, and local bodies to design action plans for future vigilance reducing the worsening impacts of hazards on cities. The case study presented is of Hong Kong. Results from our example show how the proposed framework could be effectively utilized for higher-resolution assessments in HDCs. Additionally, this paper discusses the establishment of a resilience knowledge system using data-driven interactive dashboards to facilitate decision-making. Using the results for Hong Kong, we show how the proposed framework is able to provide references for prioritization of different neighbourhoods for actions and interventions. The outcomes from the proposed S-DReP framework and the resilience knowledge system can therefore provide support to planning decision (i.e., inform capital investments through prioritization of weaker resilience components) and policy decisions (i.e., directing local strategies) in HDCs to become more resilient in the face of many uncertainties faced by cities. Conclusively, while the demonstration presented in this study highlights the potential of S-DReP framework to act as a heuristic for resilience planning through policy and decision-making relevant implications, the approach is equally useful for global urban regions in general and high-density cities in particular. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210670721001402#ack0005 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qsOutkW--hCVCSfxJkujEivNVr5-xU_N?usp=sharing GOAL 13: Climate Action GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 10: Reduced Inequality Digital empowerment & capacity building Financing digital urban innovation Promoting digital public goods to create a more equitable world Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Strengthening digital capacity-building 1360172859.13477 578804.88483529

In the form of easy to understand graphics and videos through accessible digital platforms, this information hold the potential to drastically improve the quality of informally built housing. Slum up gradation and resettlement projects in Indian cities have typically overlooked this need for access to information and focused on one- time standardised solutions. With construction in lower income areas largely being incremental and self-built, it is crucial to empower the communities at the household level by providing constant access to information and amenities. While other globally recognised problems in the social sector have been extensively researched and addressed, incremental housing is still an underserved process, mainly due to its invisibility within building plans and regulations.

The data format is JSON, and the programming language is Java. The aggregated data is available for the citizens to access and is useful in their everyday commute. It also enables the citizens to share ideas and feedback that will be pivotal in the decision-making process of the city’s transport development. On the whole, the solution creates a dialogue between the city administration and the citizens. Climate change Governance Innovation ‘Share the Road, Chennai’ is a citizen-centric digital initiative to promote non-motorised transport through public participation and data-driven decisions to create a healthy and vibrant city. The solution is developed by team Stride of the India Smart Cities Fellowship Programme, under the patronage of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and Chennai municipal corporation. The solution is in the form of a citizen participation application developed for the city of Chennai. It has the features to gather infrastructure and service improvement ideas and feedback from the citizens. The application contains crowd-mapped data on good walking and cycling routes as well as cycle repair, rental and retail units spread across Chennai. Through the application, the people of Chennai can: 1. Score streets as per their walking and cycling experience 2. Share geotagged walking or cycling-related improvement ideas and mark concerns 3. Share feedback on public space and street design projects 4. Find nearby cycling facilities such as repair, rental, retail shops and parking spaces through the navigation feature 5. Geotag nearby cycling facilities 6. Explore and navigate through interesting walking and cycling routes in the city The solution addresses the challenge of post-COVID transportation and well-being, as the ‘new normal’ demands contact-free walking and cycling to reduce pressure on public transport systems and health benefits. It also addresses the problem of increase in motor vehicle traffic and responds to the issues of noise, air pollutants and congestion through the developed solution. Further, it addresses the lack of citizen participation in the design and development of streets and public spaces. In addition, Chennai witnesses the absence of a database for an evidence-based and scientific analysis and management of urban transport, specifically non-motorised transport. This hampers effective and informed decision making and constraints the ability to create reliable mobility plans. Finally, the solution recognises the challenge of inadequate NMT infrastructure, amenities and services and tries to develop a scalable response mechanism for the highlighted problems. The data aggregated through the application is analysed on a dashboard for the Chennai municipal corporation to gather insights and make infrastructural improvements. This dashboard contains ward-level as well as street-level data reported by the citizens. The solution enables people to walk and cycle on safer and greener routes. It helps them discover cycling amenities to help them in their daily journeys. In the wake of COVID-19, the solution aids Chennai’s ongoing efforts to promote walking and cycling as healthy, low emissions and low congestion commute choices. Chennai, India The initiative has paved the way for a first-of-a-kind engagement where the city administration has collaborated with the civil society to work towards a common goal of improving and promoting non-motorised transport. Through the initiative, over 300 citizens from different cycling, walking and running groups have been onboarded as volunteers to map the city's otherwise inaccessible and undocumented amenities and routes. So far, the community has come together to map over 250 cycling amenities and 100 interesting walking and cycling routes in Chennai. The solution is an innovative effort to leverage technology to match the governance vision with citizens' aspirations to provide better infrastructure for walking and cycling. The city authorities can receive actionable insights on the locations where people mark concerns and want improvements in active mobility infrastructure through the application. After the recent launch, the app is gaining traction among the running and cycling communities who use it to mark improvement ideas based on their daily experience. Over 200 improvement ideas have been received through the app in two weeks. A decision-support dashboard is developed to visualise and generate insights from citizen inputs via the app. This data will be utilised to ascertain the existing levels of service for NMT and generate meaningful insights on the supply-demand of NMT infrastructure and amenities in the city. These insights will be used to forecast future demand points and make decisions to provide walking and cycling infrastructure and services in a more cost-effective manner. This will directly impact the NMT users, especially the livelihood cyclists in safeguarding their daily journey. The sustained impact of the solution is to be anticipated through these three indicators: 1. Higher discoverability of NMT amenities and services 2. Continuous citizen participation for improved outcomes 3. Ascertaining the NMT service levels and making data-driven improvement decisions. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ceedeev.grivenancev2 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1262KSj4wcEZZZRaBSlP7h9wo1GqpOK9D?usp=sharing, https://youtu.be/lwd0yNz_thM The application addresses the challenge of post-COVID transportation and well-being, as the ‘new normal’ demands contact-free walking and cycling to reduce pressure on public transport systems and for health benefits.

Youth and Livelihoods Innovation Gender Inclusion Google’s Internet Saathi program provides women in rural communities with a two-day training on digital literacy The gender-digital divide remains prominent, with women continuing to be at a disadvantage. This was particularly acute in rural India, where women accounted for only 10% of internet users in 2014. In addition to limited connectivity and literacy barriers, social norms also frequently underscore the divide, where internet access is often seen as a negative influence for women. In collaboration with Tata Trusts, Google established the “Saathi” (friends) program. The program encourages women in rural India to develop and teach digital literacy skills in their communities. It provides training to women in accordance with local customs and practices. The trained Internet Saathis are sent to various villages with two tablets or smartphones for twenty days a month over a period of six months. These digitally literate Internet Saathis then inform others of the benefits of the internet, ways of accessing important information with mobile devices, and other learning objectives. As of 2020, there are more than 81,500 Internet Saathis who have assisted over 30 million women in improving their digital literacy skills. The program has covered 290,000 villages across 20 states in India. As a direct result of the program, three in ten Internet Saathis and two in ten beneficiaries have established different forms of businesses, with earnings often between 3,000-5,000 rupees per month. A report by Google notes that businesses set up by Internet Saathis account for 60% of their total household monthly income, while those established by beneficiaries account for 52% of income. The program and others like it, reveal three key gender-based digital divides: 1) access to connectivity and ICT, 2) the usage of digital technologies, and 3) active participation in the digital landscape. With local customs and practices in mind, targeted digital literacy learning programs are crucial in bridging the divide from all three dimensions for women and girls. Undoubtedly, access to ICT for women is pivotal. Not only does it allow women to access public and private services, it also facilitates women’s contribution to the knowledge society. India There are currently more than 81,500 Internet Saathis who have helped more than 30 million women learn about the internet in over 290,000 villages across 20 states in India. Third-party impact studies (by marketing research agencies Kantar TNS and IPSOS) reveal the following: About 70 percent of Saathis think they are seen as a source of information in their village; people are coming to them consistently for answers on how (a) to help children with schoolwork, (b) to learn new cooking recipes, (c) to search for jobs, and (d) to run a business. https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/976bb936-bb12-4383-8f5d-59e11e7c9042/202008_D2E_Google.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=nfvxU09&ContentCache=NONE&CACHE=NONE https://drive.google.com/file/d/15yYkQQrbpOcTRVoVUgP_KD3_x4qTUQN5/view?usp=sharing NA GOAL 5: Gender Equality GOAL 17: Partnerships for the Goals GOAL 1: No Poverty Digital empowerment & capacity building Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Strengthening digital capacity-building 3772185166910.22 20517739.9463079

Youth and Livelihoods Innovation Framework and tools like websites and applications that help people with disabilities. According to the Indonesian Ministry of Health, six million people in Indonesia are known to have a disability, representing 2.45% of the country’s population. In an attempt to narrow the digital divide of people with disabilities and ensure digital and social inclusion, the Indonesian government ratified many international programs related to disabilities. For example, regulation such as “Law 14/2008” serve to protect the right persons with disabilities have to obtain information without discrimination. Two primary challenges impact improving ICT access for persons with disabilities in Indonesia: 1) improving the accessibility of digital content and websites, and 2) identifying the number of disabled households. In response to the former, the Indonesian government adopted the World Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) to guide and ensure the accessibility of government websites, and implemented the use of Screen Reader, an assistive technology that helps the blind and dyslexic read websites and digital content. Additionally, the government developed digital literacy programs specifically for persons with disabilities. The “ICT Literacy Guidance for People with Disabilities” program specifically engages persons with disabilities and blind youth. The program involves local stakeholders from organizations working alongside local governments to deliver programming. Despite these efforts, the government faces continued challenges to ensure the connectivity of persons with disabilities. Often, programming and policies isn't enough, as a great deal of stigmatization must be overcome to view disabilities as not necessarily limiting, but instead as alternative lived experiences that must be accommodated by service providers and technology developers alike. Additionally, to effect widespread change, governments must take a coordinated approach to procurement standardization, policy and accessibility guidelines adoption across multiple sectors and levels of government. Indonesia The Indonesian government has formulated regulations, policies, and made various programs to reduce the digital divide in Indonesia. However, implementation still has not shown the expected results. This condition is an obstacle to the acquisition of information as a basic need for people with disabilities for self-development, social environment, and participation in national resilience and development of the country https://www.researchgate.net/publication/337851229_Narrowing_The_Digital_Divide_of_People_With_Disabilities_To_Ensure_The_Technology_and_Social_Inclusion NA NA GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 10: Reduced Inequalities GOAL 9: Industry Innovation and Infrastructure Digital policy transformation Strengthening digital capacity-building 1901113306004.81 46420455.3334265

Economy and Finance Gender inclusion Youth and Livelihoods We designed an online platform to share our spatial analysis and evaluation of Tehran’s public spaces with people, especially vulnerable groups, and provide opportunities for their active participation in the city's future development. To recognize successful public spaces, we collected our primary data from municipality, google places, and foursquare information. Using PPS (Project for Public Spaces) criteria for successful public spaces, access and linkages, sociability, uses and activities, comfort and image, we defined 15 indicators to evaluate Tehran's successful public spaces. For access and linkages, we assessed accessibility to public transportation, permeability, accessibility to most rated places, cycling roads, proximity to parking lots, and population. To assess sociability, we considered safety, reaching public spaces, and rates of places. The indicators used to evaluate uses and activities were distribution of main activities, welfare and recreation services, and scale of activities; and for comfort and image, we analyzed legibility, cleanliness, and sense of place. We collected our data through Tehran's municipality basic information, google places and reviews, and foursquare city guide data and analyzed them using network Analysis methods (Reach, Straightness, Gravity, Betweenness). The value of each public space was estimated based on its scores and the resulting map provided in the platform demonstrated neighborhood amenities, scores of four defined PPS criteria and urban municipality project announcement. The platform was developed to improve the quality of life in Tehran by reducing the gap between experts' opinions and the public and providing a setting for better participation in urban management for all the people of Tehran. It also helps people, especially the marginalized ones, to be heard, create a community, and recognize the best affordable places to live. Citizens can score all indicators for every public space in Tehran, review their neighborhoods, and participate in the ongoing and future development of the city. They can also use the statistical data of this database to look for the information in their living, recreation and working areas. The urban government managers and technical specialists would have the opportunity to hear audience opinions and the platform will help them through the decision-making process in a more transparent environment. Tehran Tehran metropolitan has embedded different infrastructural facilities and includes various people, cultures, and complexity. Our platform can provide a reliable source for all people with different abilities, identify the best place to live and work based on their needs, and search out information about sites and facilities around their neighborhood. It also provides a comprehensive database for the urban management and experts to receive people's opinions, identify their needs, and prioritize future developments based on this information. https://hayatetehran.ir/ https://neshace-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/nazemi_nesha_co/Eg2AwVI8_h9EqSskWOUh9fYB7SArKBSEmTQPTnhVMbWw0Q?e=T8og5j GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being GOAL 10: Reduced Inequality GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities Digital empowerment & capacity building Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Building a more effective architecture for digital cooperation 2303353690872.95 9349243.7617595

Besides strengthening the decision-making process and budgeting of local projects by incorporating people's opinions into website tools, we also developed and implemented digital tools like the smart participatory platform named “MyTehran” and the Neighborhood Dashboard. Metropolitan Management Planning and Design Public Space NDP is a public participation project that engages citizens in the neighborhood’s development process. We designed and implemented several websites, the Neighborhood Dashboard, and a digital platform named “My Tehran” to provide the possibility for people to observe the information of the neighborhood, report the needs and score the projects. The NDP project is based on the active participation of the local communities as the key element in enhancing social cohesion, livability, and coordinating urban organizations. We work practically on the sociocultural systems to strengthen citizen participation in the decision-making process in the field of environmental sustainability and urban development policy. The project intends to engage citizens of the neighborhoods in the identification of local issues and promotes social cohesion in a systematic and effective way. The participation process is implemented through face-to-face meetings, facilitation workshops, and a smart platform named “MyTehran”, which enables citizens to acquire information, observe and vote for the projects, leave comments, and report their needs. The project also aims at promoting public participation in budget/fiscal policy, public service delivery, regulatory governance, inequality reduction, and social accountability. 22 Districts and 354 neighborhoods of Tehran city We utilized both traditional and digital tools to participate people in identifying local problems and developing solutions in form of NDP projects. Over 2000 projects have been defined and implemented in this manner in Tehran over the past three years. Every year a significant part of the municipal budget is directly allocated to these projects. This process resulted in increasing the quality of life in neighborhoods and improving the trust in local government between citizens. https://darvazehtehran.ir/category/%d8%b1%d9%88%d8%b2%d9%86%d8%a7%d9%85%d9%87/%d8%a2%d8%b1%d8%b4%db%8c%d9%88-%d8%b1%d9%88%d8%b2%d9%86%d8%a7%d9%85%d9%87-%d9%87%d8%a7/ https://darvazehtehran.ir/%d8%b9%da%a9%d8%b3-%d8%ae%d8%a7%d9%86%d9%87/ The digital platform provides the possibility for people to observe the information of the neighborhood, report the needs and score the projects during Covid-19.

Via the app we crowdsource mobility data and with AI we calculate CO2 reduction and we elaborate home-to-work/school mobility plans. Mobility and Transport Planning and Design Public Space MUV turns safe & sustainable mobility into a Sport: it rewards responsible habits, certifies CO2 savings and helps Companies & Institutions to change the World. MUV is a sustainable mobility entertainment platform. It fosters more responsible habits among citizens, measures players’ progress - by certifying CO2 reduction - and lets companies and institutions co-create data-driven mobility plans. MUV consists of a digital game, played in the real world, where organizations (i.e. medium and large companies, schools, universities and institutions) become Teams and individuals turn into Athletes. It has been designed to be entertaining, combining sustainability with diverse and customizable game dynamics. It is also a concrete tool for change since it can certify the impacts produced due to the reduction of emissions with an ISO 14064-2 validated algorithm. Moreover, to be coherent, MUV uses all the data collected to design Organizations’ mobility and CSR plans and also to be shared with the whole community as open data. MUV is scalable worldwide and has been tested in Italy, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Netherland, Luxembourg, Serbia, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Brasil. MUV aims to reduce traffic and pollution by acting on the individual behaviour of citizens and using the game as a lever to encourage more conscious and sustainable mobility choices and stimulate a change in daily habits. Through the mobile app, the interface through which users play, it is possible to track one's sustainable trips and calculate one's impacts. One of the objectives of MUV is to produce a concrete and measurable impact in terms of CO2 savings. In particular, we designed and tested a methodology to estimate the CO2 savings generated by users moving sustainably and tracking their trips through MUV. This calculation algorithm has been validated according ISO 14064-2and certified by RINA.

Climate Change Economy and Finance Land Assist the farmers in better adapting to varying cultivation parameters. The town of Yosano, Japan, is situated in the Kyoto prefecture. Due to the rising average age of farmers and the need to cultivate high-quality premium rice, Yosano-cho adopted concepts that helped facilitate its transition to a smart green village. The municipal government understood that the township faced two major concerns: 1) There is a gap in the transfer of needed skills to the next generation 2) climate change has altered the rice cultivation process, which has proved difficult for many farmers. To address these issues, the Yosano-cho municipal government installed LPWA, a low power wireless communication network that covers the entire region of Yosano. In combination with a high-speed communication network, LPWA was able to provide the population with digital technologies that meet different needs. Sensor nodes were placed at each production field to collect data that benefitted the cultivation process. E-kakachi, a newly developed tool, analysed the data to assist the farmers in better adapting to varying cultivation parameters. Today, Yosano-cho sells a branded product that has consistently been rated as one of the highest grades of rice in Japan. Not only has Yosano-cho’s transition to a smart green village helped gap the urban-rural digital divide in Japan, it has also solved some of the most prominent challenges faced by residents. To assess the digital divide effectively, local authorities must understand the concerns and inputs of residents, so that the process of digitization places at forefront the needs of the local population. Yosano, Japan Yosano-cho’s use of digital technology not only preserves traditional ways of rice farming and compensates for the declining number of farmers, but also helps to sustain rural ways of life by extending the app into transport, medical care and natural resource management.

Map Kibera has now grown into a complete interactive community information project. Part of the aim has been to put marginalised communities on the map. Map Kibera trains local residents to use inexpensive GPS devices to collect geo-spatial data in their community. Local mappers collect geo-spatial data in their own village or neighbourhood and feed it into OpenStreetMap. The resulting map is often complemented by a 'storytelling' platoform - a web platform where community members use social media to share news, stories, and events. It has already been replicated to other neighbourhoods both in Kenya and abroad.

Innovation Planning and Design Urban Policy Captured transit data so as to create a transit map for Nairobi with routing applications. Digital Matatus is a crowdsourced tool for the spatial mapping of informal bus routes. It is a collaborative effort between Kenyan and American universities, alongside the involvement of the Nairobi tech sector. Using mobile routing applications, the project captured transit data for Nairobi so as to design a new transit map for the city. The open source database can be accessed, modified, and reused by anyone. Due to Nairobi’s inconsistent and unreliable transit data, Digital Matatus developed a standard protocol and methodology to create a route map in conjunction with a General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) compatible data structure. Designated students rode matatus routes and collected data with mobile devices. Afterwards, data was cleaned and formatted into GTFS. This free and accessible dataset enabled the tech community to develop five mobile applications that provide transit routing information to the general public. Transparent and accessible open source databases will help promote free flow of information and ideas, which will be crucial for the creative technological development within a community. By enabling the availability of digital public goods, local governments can ensure that the data will ultimately benefit the public. Nairobi, Kenya Riders can now plan trips more easily, thus increasing ridership for the agency. Additionally, increased transparency through GTFS feeds from public transit agencies allows companies like to use that data to develop innovative mobile applications that empower transit agencies to better serve their riders http://digitalmatatus.com/intro_lite.html https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dQyS__qObPfNlikORo_ugjjB4IUDW-hh/view?usp=sharing NA GOAL 10: Reduced Inequalities GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 9: Industry Innovation and Infrastructure Digital policy transformation Digital empowerment & capacity building Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Building a more effective architecture for digital cooperation 586683022515.155 3743874.88829214

Leveraging TV white space to build affordable digital inclusion in rural Kenya 01/01/2013 01/04/2022 Project Performance and Monitoring Project/Program Infrastructure DSA Technology, TV band frequencies, called TV white spaces. (TVWS). It doesn't use internet and the infrastructure already exists. Innovation Planning and Design Energy Connecting Africa using television white space Broadband access in Kenya is considerably low, with 72% of the population lacking affordable internet access, and even basic infrastructure such as electricity. Low connectivity for Kenyans represent challenges to access services and market opportunities. A partnership between USAID Global Broadband and Innovations (GBI) Program and Microsoft’s 4Afrika initiative supported the implementation of a ubiquitous, affordable and widespread technology: TV white spaces (TVWS). TVWS takes advantage of unused spectrum bands previously used for television broadcasting at a rate of just a few dollars per month, supported by solar power stations. TV White Spaces is a technology that provides broadband access and has been piloted across Africa for its cost efficiency and wide reach. The TVWS is derived from analog TV radio signal broadcast, which can be converted into digital terrestrial signal when unused, thus the name “white spaces”. It leverages Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA), a technology that enables radio communications devices to transmit available and unused TV band frequencies. For TVWS to be implemented, it is necessary to create a network that identifies the unused radio frequencies and those which are protected, in order to allocate the unlicensed and available frequencies. While LTE works well for mobile devices, the TVWS is better adapted to stationary devices, and is often deployed in a “license-exempt” model. The project connected thousands of Kenyans through 17 WiFi hotspots, and currently more than 50 additional hotspots are planned. Increase in access by the community has contributed to the development of additional internet-based initiatives, including a telemedicine and diagnosis service. For the public, the project has provided the capability of accessing online courses, more employment opportunities and economic inclusion, while also improving disaster mitigation capacity. The Mawingu pilot project showcases the possibility of extending connectivity to areas without energy infrastructure, relying solely on solar powered stations, and is able to connect the local population to streaming services, emails, video conferencing, and high speed VPN services. Regulations are an important factor to guarantee affordability in TVWS, as there is a need to allow unlicensed or license-exempt access to unused TV band spectrum. The United States and Canada were the first countries to implement such regulatory models, followed by Singapore and the United Kingdom. Other countries considering similar approaches are Japan, South Korea, South Africa, Malawi, the Philippines and New Zealand. Microsoft, with the support of multiple partners, has deployed TVWS technology for broadband connectivity in other African countries of Tanzania, Ghana, Namibia and South Africa. In February 2020, the Kenyan government published an ‘Authorization of the Use of TV White Spaces as part of a Dynamic Spectrum Access Framework”, to support the use of “white spaces” for the provision of ICT and connectivity Kenya TVWS technology can be used to bridge the digital divide, the project connected 5 different communities. The program has as a priority connecting schools, allowing multiple kids to learn this new and necessary tools. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/main-5.pdf NA NA GOAL 17: Partnerships for the Goals GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities Digital empowerment & capacity building Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Strengthening digital capacity-building 586683022515.155 3743874.88829214

The portal has links to each of the 28 NPs (which can be browsed by geographical area) that analyse and visualize the collected data, covering multiple socioeconomic and built environment sectors in an integrated manner. Out of the 28, four profiles have been published in print format (PDF), while the rest in electronic format through the use of ArcGIS StoryMaps. Online profiles are highly interactive. By clicking on links in the text, users can view a map with additional information on the referenced location (facility, street or boundary), a table or another type of infographic, among other things (such as viewing a photo, jumping to another sub-section within the same chapter, and opening an interactive map). Besides the individual profiles, the portal also includes two databases that allow users to view the statistics and maps collected for all neighbourhoods in a comparative manner: 1. Indicator Database (https://lebanonportal.unhabitat.org/indicator-database/): By selecting a sector/theme, users can compare the main statistical findings and indicators of profiled neighbourhoods for the selected sector/theme. They can also select the neighbourhoods they are interested in viewing. The database includes key findings and indicators from field assessments as well as household surveys for Lebanese and non-Lebanese. It also contains governorate and national comparators (based on the used Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey [MICS]) for certain indicators derived from the household survey. 2. Geoportal (https://un-habitat.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=3a38c8bbdc104a7ebb41089644aa1505): It is an interactive tool, created using ArcGIS Web Application, that presents the collected mapped data of all neighbourhoods. The geoportal allows users to analyse spatial relationships by selecting specific map layers, to change map scales and extents, to filter data, to compare different neighbourhoods, and to interact otherwise according to individuals’ needs. The portal also includes other tools, such as two bilingual tutorial videos, one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESvr7ao1O6A&t=0s) explaining the portal components and navigation of individual online profiles, and the second (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddraCbOklLs&t=0s) focusing on the use of the geoportal. Also, a comprehensive toolkit (in English) (https://unhabitat.org/sites/default/files/2021/05/unh-unicef_neighbourhood_profiles_toolkit.pdf) was prepared and published on the NPs, covering the following: 1) Content of (i.e. how to read) NPs; 2) Online portal components/functions; and 3) Use of NP data for programming and coordination, including case studies. This toolkit was also translated into Arabic (its shorter version is available on the portal: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dIrbhTl9eA2D1lzJT6yDwZ8lC_wIJyaG/view). Finally, the portal also includes a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RukyMfZb1WI), which features an array of testimonials on the uses, benefits and impact of the NPs from individuals representing academia, international and national non-governmental organizations, local authorities and others. Economy and Finance Energy Governance The user-friendly interactive online portal of Lebanon neighbourhood profiles includes a homepage (with project information and resources, including videos and toolkits); individual profiles per neighbourhood that can be browsed by area; a comparable database of indicators and main statistical findings; and an online interactive geoportal of mapped data. Lebanon is 89 percent urban, but there is a long-standing scarcity of data on cities. In a context of ever-growing pressure to maximize efficiencies in intervention funding, there is an urgent need for reliable, multisectoral and spatialized information. This need has become critical with the compounding crises – Syrian refugee influx, socioeconomic crisis, COVID–19 pandemic, and 4 August 2020 Beirut Port explosion – the country has been facing, which are further exacerbating vulnerabilities among those most in need. Between 2017 and 2021, UN-Habitat and UNICEF jointly undertook 28 NPs of disadvantaged, mostly urban, areas across Lebanon. NPs are assessments of the living conditions of Lebanese and non-Lebanese residents in these neighbourhoods, containing original multisectoral, multicohort, spatialized data that is analysed within an area-based framework. The integrated analysis covers such sectors/issues as governance, population, safety and security, health, education, child protection, youth, local economy and livelihoods, buildings and housing, basic urban services, access, and open spaces. Adopting an area-based approach to data gathering and synthesis, where a defined territorial unit is the point of entry rather than a particular sector or beneficiary cohort, NPs inform integrated programming for urban areas in ways that benefit all residents in the long term. This helps enhance social stability. The NPs are used by national and local authorities, sector specialists, and multisector practitioners for coordination and programming. This may be both for alleviating immediate needs and, taking into account the neighbourhood’s embeddedness in the wider city, for longer-term sustainable urban development planning. In order to promote dissemination and use of the NP data for evidence-based programming and coordination, UN-Habitat and UNICEF have created a user-friendly interactive online portal to make all the data publicly available, followed by capacity-building training sessions for municipal representatives and other community stakeholders. As explained in question 10, the portal does not only allow users to read and use data on specific neighbourhoods, but also compare findings and maps across some or all of the neighbourhoods, given that the methodology used to collect the data was the same in all areas. Again, as described in question 10, the portal also includes a number of bilingual videos and other resources to facilitate the use of the portal and the NP data at large by diverse stakeholders. General information about the NP project can be found on this introductory video: https://youtu.be/EX7sei-qp8U. Since 2017, UN-Habitat and UNICEF have profiled 28 neighbourhoods in disadvantaged areas across Lebanon. These have been selected from a list of 498 most disadvantaged areas that had previously been identified and ranked nationally. For more details on this identification and ranking process, as well as the link to the map of the 498 disadvantaged areas, visit: https://lebanonportal.unhabitat.org, Profiling Methodology section. The 28 profiled neighbourhoods are listed on this page of the portal: https://lebanonportal.unhabitat.org/neighbourhood-profiles/. The use of NPs and the online portal has helped direct intervention funding to some disadvantaged areas and people who are most in need. Encouraging data-led decision-making, NPs have informed sectoral and multisectoral programming (by municipalities, United Nations agencies, local/international non-governmental organizations) in ways that have helped mitigate vulnerabilities for residents living together in an area and reduce community tensions, such as host–refugee ones. NPs have also served as a framework for coordinated actions between state and non-state partners involved in addressing vulnerabilities to help reduce overlaps/duplication and increase intervention funding efficiencies. Below are a few examples of NP-related project and coordination case studies that have directly impacted the lives of people in profiled disadvantaged neighbourhoods: •Rehabilitation of a sociocultural centre in Maachouk, Tyre •Improving human security through neighbourhood upgrading and economic empowerment of vulnerable refugees and host communities in Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen, Tripoli • Improving the well-being of host and refugee populations through enhanced access to social and basic services in Sabra (El-Jazzar Street), Beirut •North Lebanon Neighbourhood Approach Task Force More information about these and other case studies about NP-based/inspired projects and coordination efforts can be found in the comprehensive NP toolkit (pp. 82–90), mentioned above. Some testimonials about NP uses and impact can also be found on the testimonials video mentioned above. Besides informing projects and coordination efforts, the availability of multisectoral evidence such as the NPs helps build the resilience of urban areas/communities, including local authorities, to a range of natural or human-made crises and stresses, as well as their ability to recover from them. For example, the NP data has served as an important source of subcadastral-level, multisectoral, disaggregated and spatialized information that has been included in the analysis of the UN-Habitat Beirut City Profile (BCP) (published in 2021). The BCP makes use of existing available information on multiple cross-cutting structural challenges and the effects of overlapping crises to provide a diagnosis through a whole-of-city approach, of key factors relevant to the response, recovery and reconstruction efforts. It also provides a lens to think holistically – and spatially – around recovery efforts across the city scale – even beyond the Beirut Port explosion. The report also seeks to shed light on potential threats to further socioeconomic deterioration and increased tension. https://lebanonportal.unhabitat.org/ •This Flickr album was created to display a few pictures from the profiled neighbourhoods, including the data collection process: https://www.flickr.com/photos/unhabitatlb/sets/72157714534402187. •This toolkit includes more pictures and illustrations about the online portal: https://unhabitat.org/sites/default/files/2021/05/unh-unicef_neighbourhood_profiles_toolkit.pdf.

Through an app we share the Water Quality Index, we provide a space to report water leaks and we create an educational game to turn users into "Water Guardians". Yucatan, Mexico Operational efficiencies in administering water quality tests: 80% less time spent by water body personnel collecting measurements. More effective management of pollutants that are found in water once extracted from the karst aquifer system: 88% of water quality index measurements were within Mexican water quality standards due to the improved water quality monitoring process. Increase confidence in water quality understanding: Nearly 100% of household representatives reported an increase in confidence in water quality knowledge after participating in the water education activities. http://www.the-siu.net/wordpress/smart-water-dime-h2o/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ng08XRIFBPAxOmdH4ArQX0KFb7eEMU0j/view?usp=sharing By guaranteeing water quality that households receive and diminishing water pollution and leaks using the app tools.

Climate change Innovation Planning and Design It is a citizen science project with the objective of establishing a socially driven multi level engagement by creating experiments and experiences in the public space with the use of technology and methodologies centered on people. It is a citizen science project with the aim of establishing socially driven multilevel participation by creating experiments and experiences in the public space, through the active union of citizens for collaborative work, technological empowerment for the generation and deployment of environmental sense, awareness and visualization of the problems of the environment and collaboration to take positive action in the creation of solutions. METHODOLOGY The applied methodology follows a series of phases. It begins with open invitations to any citizen to later integrate a group of active citizens (citizen champions). The project can be planned and replicated adapting to the context of the City or public space. It has currently been implemented in two cities in Mexico. We will present the methodology and results of the City of Mérida, Yucatán. METHODOLOGY. STEP 1. Preparation of the campaign and open data infrastructure. Planning of the communication and dissemination strategy. launch of the open network The Things Network Mérida of the Internet of Things, implementing the LoRaWAN network and of the public call to participate in collective environmental mapping. STEP 2: Environmental Mappings. A fundamental part of Sensa Citizens is to create community through dialogue and knowledge of the experiences of the people who live in the city and their daily problems. for which the collective environmental mapping is dedicated to delimiting the urban environmental problems of the city. STEP 3: Technological training. Workshops that combine the understanding of environmental data, its collection in the field through devices calibrated and configured by the participants, their visualization and analysis, as well as the assembly of the course results. Themes: • Scanning the environment • Technological empowerment • Data analysis and visualization • Co-design and manufacturing. STEP 4: Deployment of environmental monitors. Deployment of environmental sensors (air quality, noise, radiation, temperature, humidity) on totems located in public spaces. People could scan the code to see the data on the platform. On the totem they could read about the parameters that were monitored and their permissible limits. STEP 5. Public intervention. At this stage, the citizen champions present to the general public the communication proposal resulting from the technological training and co-design process, through public intervention. STEP 6. Traveling exhibitions. Launch of the exhibition of results in the public space to raise collective awareness of the campaign and its impact. It takes place in different venues around the City to reach a larger and more diverse public. IoT + DIY TECHNOLOGY.

Adaptation of technological tools as a strategy to raise awareness and promote climate action participatory processes in cities. Within the framework of the strengthening subsidy for digitization processes in cities received from the German Cooperation for Sustainable Development (GIZ). HTIU is presented as an urban innovation, technological empowerment and citizen science project that consisted of the creation of three open source tools for easy adaptation and regionalization between Cities. The generated tools allow us to take a step towards digitization and open data in urban management processes such as: urban trees, public transport and mitigation/adaptation actions to climate change. A citizen-centered conceptualization and design process is applied in all three tools. Citizens are the main actors for the generation of data. URBAN TREE APP: Designed to facilitate urban tree management processes as well as citizen empowerment through recreational activities. Through different sections and contents, it makes it possible to make visible the efforts made on urban trees. (1)With the catalog of trees you can access technical information and the ecosystem services provided by trees in the City. (2) Playful content: This section works as a learning dynamic. Dynamics with which users can learn to identify 35 species in their city as they obtain a higher level of hits and gain experience that is reflected in "medals". (3) Georeferenced tree map: Map with georeferenced trees of the City. Basic information is shown such as common name, scientific name and its link to the library for consultation of complementary information. MOVIDATA: Tool for the collective mapping of public transport routes. It collects quantitative and qualitative data of the trip captured in order to generate public databases. It has 3 main functions: (A) Mapping trips in public transport. (B) Access to interesting content on sustainable mobility projects. (C) Visualization and downloading of the routes surveyed. Components: Mobile APP, web viewer, open guide for mapping. CLIMATE ACTION CITIZEN PLATFORM: Initiative that promotes the appropriation and contribution of citizens and organizations to actions against climate change. The platform is a "template" type that can be adapted and replicated to the climate action plans and indicators of each city. Components: (a) Map of climate action projects in the city. Georeferenced map of climate action projects in the city made by different actors. (b) Greenhouse Gas Inventory information. Promote and share greenhouse inventories for the country and the city. (c) Climate projects repository. Exercises, research and documentation generated by government institutions, universities, citizen laboratories, associations, groups and the general public are welcome to contribute to this sum of efforts. – Data collected: (a) City climate dashboard. Administrable dashboard for the cities of the sectors, strategies and SDGs. (b) Climate change actions. Climate change adaptation and mitigation measures made by citizens, companies and organizations. (c) SDGs references. Relates the climate actions carried out in the city with the pertinent SDGs Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. The tools have contributed to government agencies with data management and optimization. Its conception and design is based on the government-citizen interaction as well as the playful particularities that allow an approach to the knowledge of different urban issues and promotes citizen science activities for the collection of open data through civic technologies. Currently the three tools are fully active and implemented in two cities.

With this technology, installed capacities are left in the inhabitants of the cuxtal reserve of the City of Mérida. It consists of: Plastic crusher, plastic injection and plastic sheet presses. The entire process can be followed on a web platform for dissemination of the project. Also with an online display platform of the results. Innovation Waste Management Participatory art program implemented with a co-design methodology. It is based on the transformation of plastic waste, collaborative networks, universal access to knowledge and technological empowerment. Methodology: The program has four main stages: STAGE ONE: Itinerant route. This stage consists of the collection and management of plastic waste derived from use in the communities and certain contaminated points of the ecological reserve. An itinerant environmental education node is used that includes plastic transformation machines. The route includes contemplation and environmental education activities, as well as technical workshops on the revaluation of waste as raw material for various applications. STAGE TWO: Implementation of creative space. (Productive micronode). It consists of the implementation and equipment of a creative space with "Precious plastic" type machines that allows the community to train and get closer to plastic transformation technology. The space and its equipment was installed in the community of Molas (a small neighborhood within the Cuxtal Reserve) in its Environmental Training Center for its continuity and use. STAGE THREE: Co-design workshop. In this stage, a co-design methodology is applied with the community in the creative space implemented within the reserve. Art and design training is given, among other creative processes. The technical skills of the use of the equipment for the transformation of residues are also left implemented. As a result of the process of each participant, artistic works are generated using plastic as the main input. STAGE 4: Exhibition. The results of the co-design process with the participants of the communities of the reserve are presented as a museum exhibition seeking to increase interest and awareness about the environmental care of the reserve and demonstrating the community power to solve local problems. All the experience including the presentation of results is documented for the generation of a documentary as well as a museography that will be presented in different spaces of the City of Mérida. The project has the characteristics of being completely replicable in other cities. Manuals are currently being generated to share freely. It is highly potential to be implemented in vulnerable communities where training and economic activation can be encouraged through lines of by-products obtained from the transformation of plastic. The program has been funded by the National Council for Science and Technology of Mexico (CONACYT). It is designed and implemented entirely by FabCity Yucatán. It has the collaboration and support of the Mérida City Council and the Cuxtal Reserve Decentralized Agency. Cuxtal Reserve in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. The reserve, being a protected natural space, presents many problems of waste generated by people. There is a lack of knowledge of the environmental services that the reserve provides to the City. With the program he has reached more than 500 people from children to adults. Who have been sensitized on environmental issues. With the exhibition of the results, it is intended to reach more than 10,000 people. In turn, an equipped space has been left within the infrastructure of the reserve. With this, a model of economic activation can be generated through the formation of cooperatives for the sale of products generated with the transformation of plastic. It will also serve to continue creating programs that promote universal access to knowledge and art. This program has also benefited children who, due to covid, did not have access to educational programs due to lack of connectivity. https://creacuxtal.org/ https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VsrBB5H3PR641wqlAyU02JyRC3rPH8Xx?usp=sharing Being a neighborhood far from the City and in order not to delay the start of the program, an itinerant node was proposed that could bring technology and tools to public spaces. With this, educational and recreational opportunities are brought to the inhabitants of the reserve, following the sanitary protocols. Similarly, the implemented space functions as an innovative post-covid economic activation concept for people who live in neighborhoods within the reserve. This is because with the implemented infrastructure, business models based on the recovery of plastic can be created.

The methodology operates with open-source software to measure different values such as connectivity, integration, choice. After developing a Space Syntax model of the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara, an effort that lasted for more than 10 months with a very low budget, and using socio-economic, demographic & transportation data, it was possible to identify streets and corridors that have the highest potential for allocating pedestrian and cycling trips. Gender inclusion Metropolitan Management Mobility and Transport The Pedestrian Dynamism Index has been used to predict highly walkable places within the metropolis, having a formidable impact on the design of pedestrian infrastructure and public-transportation access points, whilst the Cyclist Dynamism Index identifies highly bikeable zones to improve the prioritization of public investment related to cycling infrastructure The Pedestrian and Cycling Dynamism Index: Space Syntax Applications in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area Decisions taken by Latin American governments are characterized by being arbitrary, partial and uninformed, responding many times to political commitments closely related to electoral interests. As a result, public resources are allocated to projects and programs that do not necessarily respond to democratic or rational processes, undermining the impact and benefits public investments can generate. The implementation of tools and methodologies for making objective decisions related to public investment are needed in the region. Since the creation of the Urban Research and Development department within the government of Jalisco, Space Syntax has become one of the most used tools for territorial analysis in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, the third largest city in Mexico. This methodology offers an objective analysis approach based on the morphology of the city as a network. By creating an axial model it is possible to measure characteristics such as connectivity, integration, choice, depth, among others. Thus making it an important step into promoting evidence-based public decisions. The Pedestrian Dynamism Index and the Cyclist Dynamism Index are two of the most relevant applications developed from the Space Syntax model of the metropolitan area of Guadalajara. The Pedestrian Dynamism Index been used to predict highly walkable places within the metropolitan network, having a formidable impact on the design of pedestrian infrastructure related to the access points of MiMacroPeriférico, the newest BRT line in a 12-lane peripheral ring in Guadalajara. For its part, the Cyclist Dynamism Index identifies highly bikeable zones in the metropolitan area, and has been used to improve the prioritization of public investment related to cycling infrastructure, seeking to increase the existing network. Both indexes are based on a Space Syntax model, but are built by introducing socioeconomic data, thus making it a more robust prediction of urban mobility. Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara, Mexico The Pedestrian and Cyclist Dynamism Indexes were born as a need to have a graphic tool that would allow individuals to visualise and measure the potential each street has to accommodate pedestrian and cyclists trips. The Indexes combine connectivity measures with socio-economic and demographic data to identify the shortest streets with the most connected paths to the system, with a high concentration of economic activity and where more people tend to live. These tools have proven to be extremely useful for decision-makers since it provides them with clarity during the design process. They can also serve as tools during the planning process for allocating budget for the implementation of new infrastructure. Moreover, they are an important step into promoting evidence-based public decisions. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/mec/2022/01/08/pedestrian-dynamism-index-an-approach-to-increasing-permeability-between-the-peripheral-and-central-city-of-guadalajara/ https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tLB6XxVL6ngICpW8aUECnH0WAHiTeZg3 GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 5: Gender Equality Policy transformation Financing digital urban innovation Digital empowerment & capacity building Strengthening digital capacity-building Ensuring the protection of human rights in the digital era 2371422772744.71 17415416.8860184

Urban Health Planning and Design Urban Policy BHC leveraged systems mapping and mini-pilots to help develop a Healthy City Action plan the covers the actions needed to improve urban health in a coherent and transparent way. Rapidly growing cities face new and compounding health challenges, leading governments and donors to seek innovative ways to support healthier, more resilient urban growth. One such approach is the dynamic systems mapping process developed by Engaging Inquiry (EI) for the USAID-funded Building Healthy Cities project (BHC) in four cities in Asia. This paper provides details on the theory and methods of the process. While systems mapping is not new, the approach detailed in this paper has been uniquely adapted to the purpose of municipal planning. Strategic stakeholder engagement, including the facilitation of participatory workshops with relevant sector actors and community town halls, is at the core of this approach and led to deeper insights, greater buy-in, and shared understanding specific to the city’s unique opportunities and challenges. This innovative mapping process is a powerful tool for defining municipal priorities within growing cities across the globe, where the situation is rapidly changing and evolving.

By capturing and sharing the stories, learnings, challenges, and good practices emerging from these 11 projects our solution aims to support all stakeholders interested in developing inclusive, sustainable and smart urban projects. Economy and Finance Youth and Livelihoods Governance SAAM stad is making knowledge accessible for advancing inclusive and sustainable cities. Cities in Africa are experiencing a rapid population growth and more than half of all Africans already live in cities. But these urban environments are faced with numerous challenges resulting from high population density, urban poverty and inequality, traffic, crime, poor air quality, lack of infrastructure, heat islands, waste disposal and more. Innovative technological solutions as part of the “smart city” idea are one approach to solve the most pressing urban challenges. ASToN is a network of eleven African local authorities using digital transformation as a catalyst for becoming more inclusive and sustainable cities. Based on the collaboration with the ASToN network, the Knowledge Ecosystem captures the lessons, stories, data, challenges, and good practices emerging from the network and their 11 projects. This knowledge is processed and shared with a larger audience through the Knowledge Ecosystem platform. It offers an opportunity to learn from and re-use real life experiences of smart cities projects. The Ecosystem aims to support all actors wanting to develop and advance inclusive and sustainable projects for better cities where no one is left behind. African cities As the ASToN projects are currently ongoing, the Knowledge Ecosystem is in the implementation and development phase. Based on previous discussions with future users, the Knowledge Ecosystem has the potential to serve as a learning element for numerous municipalities, NGOs, think tanks, educational institutions, and students across different African cities. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RTao3qrHHcqamZAOXSCfTAFzWghK8xwO/view?usp=sharing Supporting the development of safe and inclusive urban environments GOAL 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 13: Climate Action Digital empowerment & capacity building Achieving universal connectivity by 2030 Promoting digital public goods to create a more equitable world Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable 94760974069.2563 3594151.97595816

Governance Innovation Safery Platform where they publish all the algorithms to increase transparency to the public and reduce "black boxes" In cities around the world, different sorts of algorithms are likely to play an ever increasing role in various processes of governing. The power of algorithms to improve urban services is now widely accepted, with uses ranging from facial recognition in law enforcement to the production of urban plans and zoning. In many cases, however, reliance on algorithms and other forms of AI has produced fertile ground for limited transparency, with tools with the potential to have major impacts remaining “black boxes”, the details of how they operate inaccessible to the wider public. Amsterdam’s city government has decided to make an effort to increase the transparency of the variety of algorithms it uses. To this end it has produced, along with the city of Helsinki, an online “algorithm register”. While currently this register only lists a few projects, there will more than likely be new additions in coming years. What is particularly interesting about this effort, however, is its approach towards providing oversight and information to the wider public. The algorithms listed, for instance, are presented in an easily-readable format, with categories listing how the algorithm itself works, what levels of human oversight exist, what efforts have been made to avoid discrimination, and what potential risks exists (and what is being done about them). With its clear summaries of the various algorithms used by the city, as well as on-site surveys and spaces for user comments, Amsterdam has given its residents a means of understanding and contributing. With its format as a relatively straightforward website, similar approaches could be taken in any city where algorithms play a role.

Public eye is a system for crowd management in the city of Amsterdam, made available through GitHub as an open source software based on deep learning. The system collects data using cameras installed in certain locations of the city to identify the number of pedestrians per area. The software is fully open source, accessible on github, and documented with a statement from the City of Amsterdam that provides detailed information to the public about the use of the system. To ensure privacy, images are not stored nor shown, and any data passing through the system is anonymized. Crowd monitoring is a pressing issue in cities as population rates grow and urbanisation expands. Open software such as Public Eye can be utilised by other cities and organisations, and contribute to the exchange of open infrastructure that respects privacy and security principles. Amsterdam, Netherlands For example, if an area becomes too busy, staff can take action to disperse crowds, such as implementing one-way measures, as well as designing longer-term strategies to prevent congestion.

To incentivise citizen engagement, the project has a dedicated, easy to use mobile app that is available on all software devices. Citizens can choose to remain anonymous when reporting and are able to upload photographic evidence if need be. The initiative highlights two key lessons. First, digital services, e.g. mobile apps, need to be user-friendly by design, easy to navigate, and compatible with all smart devices. Second, despite the digitalizing of key infrastructures, there is still the need to provide multiple participatory routes to ensure inclusive participation for those who lack access to smart devices.

In 2016, the Government of the Punjab Province initiated a digital and financial inclusion program to assist small Pakistani farmers in accessing formal credit. The “Kissan” initiative provided under-banked and non-banked farmers with interest-free crop finance. It enabled eligible farmers to easily access the e-credit scheme through mobile wallets, with subsidised mobile phones provided by the local government. In cooperation with two commercial banks and three microfinance institutions, the government set up a revolving fund of Rs, 2 billion. The Punjab Land Revenue Authority registered farmers, and between 2010-2019, Rs 600 million were allocated to the program. To enable easier access to e-wallets, program partners such as Telenor and Tameer Microfinance Bank also distributed free smart phones for those approved for the program. These phones have pre-installed digital wallets and other useful agriculture-related applications. As of 2021, 471,000 eligible farmers in Punjab have registered for the program. A total of 917,000 loans have been distributed between the participants, amounting to Rs 61.99 billion. 125,000 smart phones with pre-installed apps have been disbursed to farmers. The program is currently under an assessment to determine its impact on the region. Punjab Province, Pakistan The smart phones have digital wallets providing easy access to financial services and simplifying loan applications and payments. Since the programme started almost five years ago 471 000 smallholder farmers in Punjab have registered and a total of 917 000 loans were disbursed to them amounting to Rs 61.99 billion. The credit has been leveraged through government investment of Rs 5.5 billion, including Rs 2 billion for a revolving fund given to Akhuwat Islamic Microfinance.

Irembo is Rwanda’s national online services platform and considered a major development in Rwanda’s smart city strategy. Launched in 2015, Irembo is a government portal where citizens can access and request services within one single platform. It launched with 22 local government services and has so far digitized 98 public services. In Kinyarwanda, Irembo means “gateway”, and through it, citizens can access services such as birth and marriage certificates, land registration, building permits and health insurance, among several other services. The Rwandan government has established partnerships with other organizations to provide a network of kiosks, where citizens can use mobile money transfers, selling and topping-up of public transport cards, and Irembo services. Plans to implement more modern kiosks include solar-powered technologies and hotlines for reporting fraud. The e-services available in the platform support transparency efforts in digital service delivery for citizens while it helps the government to better manage revenues, by tracking the transaction fees associated with the provision of services.

The first Dropfoods testbed was launched in 2017 in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. Today, Dropfoods has grown to over twice the number of 7-Eleven outlets in HCMC. The Decentralised Food Coin Platform (“DeFoCoin Platform”) leverages blockchain technology to transform the current Dropfoods business model into a truly decentralized token-driven Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) retail ecosystem that will allow for equitable and scalable participation throughout Southeast Asia. Economy and Finance Innovation Food Systems The DeFoCoin Platform leverages IoT and blockchain technologies to create a sustainable decentralised model for food access and distribution, thus ultimately changing the way the world thinks about food and connectivity. Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) currently account for more than half of all consumer spending today. At the same time, consumers are vulnerable to global food price shocks. There is a prevailing upward trajectory in global food prices, resulting from inflation and exacerbated by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The pace of this trend is concerning and has the effect of creating the following outcomes, if left unchecked: (i) direct impact on allocation for other critical spend, in addition to general disposable income; (ii) widening the gap in reach for affordable quality food products in time; and (iii) diminishing quality of living and wellness, leading to the potential for higher health care costs over time. The DeFoCoin Platform is a two-pronged solution that addresses the FMCG conundrum. First, the DeFoCoin Platform will power a smart network of phygital retail touch points (kiosks) that are digitally-connected, hyper-convenient, and value sustaining. Consumers access familiar FMCG products and are introduced to healthy food options—all at scale and without the usual intermediaries, thus translating into affordable pricing. Second, the DeFoCoin Platform is a sustainable model premised on socially inclusive profit with purpose. The DeFoCoin Platform is the foundation for a variety of services that can be bought and sold in the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) ecosystem. The DeFoCoin BEP-20 tokens allow holders to: 1) Trade freely on cryptocurrency exchanges. 2) Convert into credits for purchasing products at any DeFoCoin-powered kiosk. 3) Convert into credits for ownership of a DeFoCoin-powered kiosk. 4) Convert into credits to purchase IoT connectivity. 5) Receive rewards when distributed at the end of each year. By leveraging on the trust and transparency component of blockchain technology, the DeFoCoin Platform aims to unify the combined strength and participation of communities towards the creation of a sustainable decentralised model for food access and distribution, thus ultimately changing the way the world thinks about food and connectivity. Southeast Asia The impact of Dropfoods and, over time, the DeFoCoin Platform include: i) Delivering convenience and more affordable options (food and connectivity) to stakeholders in various communities. ii) Empowering members of the community to be small business owners by participating in the Dropfoods franchisee initiative. iii) Providing a hotspot area for students and youths to access the internet for free at Dropfoods smart kiosk locations. iv) Reducing carbon emissions by setting up a dense network of smart kiosks that doubles as logistics hubs to cut down on the number of deliveries during Covid-19 lockdowns. v) Introducing healthier food options via DeFoCoin-powered free mobile applications, upon achieving scale on the DeFoCoin Platform. vi) Enabling farmers to leverage on LoRAWAN and IoT devices to increase agricultural productivity, upon achieving scale on the DeFoCoin Platform. vii) Facilitating microloans so communities have access to food and connectivity at a low cost, upon achieving scale on the DeFoCoin Platform. https://www.defocoin.io/ https://www.dropbox.com/s/ojzjqct4um63s5x/DeFoCoinPlatform_Pictures.pdf?dl=0 During Covid-19 lockdowns in Vietnam, the local governments reached out to corporate partners to deploy vending machines to sell food and drinks in residential/industrial areas hardest hit by Covid-19 spread. These areas were closed to non-residents and shops were all closed. Countries across Asia are now dispensing Covid-19 test kits and face masks via vending machines.

Slum Upgrading Planning and Design Innovation Cheap internet connectivity that doesn't require cables internet. In South Africa, cable Internet infrastructure is sparse and is predominantly available in affluent areas. As a result, residents in low income neighborhoods have to rely on mobile Internet, a costly option that poses additional economic burdens on the poor and further deepens the existing digital divide. To address the issue, VPUU (Violence Prevention Through Urban Upgrading) provides the Internet directly to the community through the “V-Net” project. V-Net is a community network that builds on a cable line and is accessible through a set of Wi-Fi points around the community of Khayelitsha. Each of the Wi-Fi points is connected to a common server. Users can access a local network server, communicate with each other, and access the global Internet. Materials available on the server include videos for streaming, career development services, educational materials, electronic books, and services like Wikipedia. Videos available for streaming include TED talks, Khan Academy tutorials, WordPress and Moodle. The goal of V-Net is to transition to a local service provider and use the revenue to support network maintenance and free digital literacy workshops in the community. The Internet is sold through a voucher system to local residents in order to further the community’s digital economy and ICT development. VPUU has also organized information sessions and hackathons where local residents could get involved, ask questions, and learn about the technology. A team of local residents was trained to maintain the network so that the community becomes its own steward of the technology it uses. Cape Town, South Africa There are many potential benefits of V-NET, particularly is its affordability in relation to other existing options out there.

The OSICO Platform is an open innovation space for the analysis, reflection and collaboration of some of the most important challenges that we have through Social Innovation, especially through Collective Intelligence, which with the help of assessment tools of the Public policies give way to new scenarios towards a more digital Governance, in order to effectively face these challenges. OBJECTIVES The objective of the OSICO platform is to gather knowledge from different types of organizations, built, coordinated and managed by researchers and experts in different areas, in order to formulate proposal ideas that can serve as a model, mentor and guide to Governance Multilevel in the process of formulating public policies. STRATEGIES The strategy adopted by the OSICO Platform is based mainly on the contribution of knowledge from researchers, teachers and experts on each of the challenges, either through articles, reports, interviews, opinions or proposals for each of the areas. The participants of the OSICO project carry out open innovation actions in order to give rise to the production of creative knowledge in the area of ??sustainability and resilience of cities, taking advantage of emerging technologies such as open data, knowledge networks or open hardware. The OSICO project conducts interviews with relevant people from all over the world on different challenges, be they environmental, ecological, energy and others, especially that of the circular economy. In the same way, the project contemplates the preparation of articles, reports, as well as takes into account the knowledge coming from institutions such as the United Nations and the EU, among others. The OSICO Platform behaves as if it were a “Laboratory”, where different topics and challenges are addressed among the participants, based mainly on five main elements: analysis, exploration, experimentation, evaluation and joint creation. This will allow us to gather coherent proposal ideas, appropriate from the participants in said laboratory, which will give way to the experimentation of new forms of Governance. All this, under the principles that inspire the Circular Economy, such as the preservation and improvement of natural capital, the optimization of the use of resources, promoting the efficiency of the system, as well as the development of systemic thinking. This new thinking that the circular economy represents, it would be desirable to acquire innovation systems, beyond the economy, capable of extending the principles to all the challenges / components of cities, in order to have an adequate fit in our economic development and job creation system. In this model of society, it is essential to unite the entire global community through a systemic approach, where the parts and the whole, innovation and collaboration are fundamental. It is, in short, the search for the staging of a new approach and paradigm of our economic activity that is also respectful of social and environmental standards global community by the multiplier effect of the OSICO platform The osico platform has shown that it is possible to find through intelligence to find solutions to the most important urban challenges, where communication of how problems are perceived, both by citizens, organizations and politics is a responsibility of all, The OSICO Platform behaves as if it were a “Laboratory”, where different topics and challenges are addressed among the participants, based mainly on five main elements: analysis, exploration, experimentation, evaluation and joint creation.

Climate change, natural disasters, depletion of natural resources, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, pollution, among others, are overtaking us all. With increasing intensity, it is necessary to carry out an authentic transformation of our political, economic, social and environmental fabric. To face these environmental challenges with determination, the preservation and investment in nature, the protection of natural resources, the use of renewable sources, systemic thinking, social innovation, especially collective intelligence are some of the keys related to the circular thinking of cities. We are at a time where more than ever, the scientific community, organizations of different kinds, citizens, together with Governance should come together so that we learn from each other in the field of policy experimentation in order to find effective answers. to some increasingly bewildering challenges, which all they do is put more evidence if possible, at the limit of our own existence. To be able to provide us with circular thinking and social innovation by all the actors that make up the development process, especially that of Governance that leads and supports an important process of change that is essential for the staging of a new approach. and a paradigm of our economic activity that is also respectful of social and environmental standards, which also has positive consequences for the protection of our health against SARS-CoV-2. https://www.osicoplatform.com/pensamiento-circular-innovacion-social-y-gobernanza/ https://www.osicoplatform.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Circular-Thinking-Social-Innovation-and-Governance-Jose-Esteban-Gabarda-Balaguer.pdf In the book "The virus whims, the Ineffectiveness of the System" analyzes, interprets and evaluates the important and complex challenge of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, to try to find some of the keys that help us to know the causes that can favor the appearance of this and other viruses that may arise, in order to anticipate other health, social and economic catastrophes such as the one we are witnessing. The outbreak of the pandemic has puzzled us, has shown how vulnerable we are and has broken the working patterns of development strategies. At the same time we have realized the inefficiency of some of our innovation systems that do not respond adequately to solve some of the current problems. This book delves into the need, now more urgent than ever, to find a working methodology related to development strategies that allows us to anticipate and anticipate this global catastrophe. An issue that has to do directly with Governance, with its programs and its resulting actions, as well as with an adequate evaluation of public policies. Confronting with determination the fight against climate change, the loss of biodiversity, deforestation and pollution are key to this. This necessarily involves the implementation of a new economy that is more respectful of people, the environment and natural resources, such as the circular economy. https://www.osicoplatform.com/libro-el-capricho-de-los-virus-la-ineficacia-del-sistema/ GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 12: Responsible Consumption and Production Policy transformation Building a more effective architecture for digital cooperation Strengthening digital capacity-building Promoting digital public goods to create a more equitable world 871742669628.906 7486503.26908986

Playmaking can help us to reduce the reproduction of inequalities, encourage people to have more civic behaviors and improve the cohesion of communities or, in a simplified way, to enjoy public space by making responsible, positive and healthy use of it. Climate change Gender inclusion Youth and Livelihoods Playmaking can help reduce inequalities in our cities and territories through the techniques and dynamics of video game design, uniting the methodologies of Placemaking (from the urban planning field) and Serious Games (from the video game design side). Video games are capable of uniting in the same space, time and place all the diversity of people 40% of the world's population, or 3 billion people, play video games every day. 55.7% of people currently live in cities. In addition, it is estimated that this percentage will grow to 70% by 2030. Video games have enormous potential to stimulate our creativity, improve our motivation or help us to commit ourselves in a different way to certain challenges that were previously difficult for us to achieve. In addition, video games are capable of uniting in the same space, time and place all the diversity of people, since regardless of who you are, what you are or where you come from, the important thing is how you play. Cities are spaces of inequity and it is in them where we will have to fight the battle for the sustainability of life in the face of current challenges such as climate change and inequalities (ecosocial crisis). Technology, used from co-responsibility and with eco-social criteria, is presented as a great ally to combat the systemic crises that we face and videogames have proven to be the most successful link between the city and technology. Video games could play a fundamental role towards that very important ecosocial transition that we as a society have ahead of us to be able to inhabit and build cities and territories that they take care of. There are different types of games. From arcade-type games, through simulation games, to role-playing games (among others). In the same vein as previous reflections, game design has focused its efforts on how to introduce more real and dynamic cities within video games and is beginning to explore new ways of introducing video games in the city. This hybridization between both worlds begins to be present in the ideas and reflections of some video game companies (Niantic or Geocaching) and urban planning studies (Play The City, Games for Cities or Espacio Lúdico), but the truth is that today it is a field entirely to be explored. It is in this current context where a new type of game has a place that hybridizes not only the scene of the game (the city as a platform), but also its objectives: Playmaking. Playmaking is the intersection between a way of doing urban planning, Placemaking, and a way of designing video games, Serious Games. We thus achieve a new way to improve our cities while having a good time, doing it in community and using the mechanical and dynamic techniques typical of video game design. Playmaking is made up of four dimensions: Territorial, Technological, Playful and Social. These four dimensions already interact today, giving way to a series of practices both in the world of urban planning and in the world of video games. Next we are going to take a tour of all of them. The Playmaking proposal is the interaction of the four dimensions presented, in the same space, time and place, and sharing a series of positive common principles and values ??for society. Cities We return here to the two questions that we asked ourselves in this research: one as a challenge and the other as a presumed opportunity. Challenge: how can we minimize the inequalities that generate the bias with which we design? Opportunity: how can we contribute to build with our designs a better society that takes care of people and life on the planet? Regarding the challenge, a greater incidence in the training of future professionals and support in the understanding and visibility of these inequalities is necessary. Likewise, Playmaking should have a series of values ??and principles included in a code of ethics (as is already the case with other professions). Our designs directly affect people's lives and, if we ignore it, we could contribute to perpetuate or accentuate existing inequities in society, as well as other harmful aspects towards our environment. Taking into account the opportunity that Playmaking presents us and recalling the two key data from research on the power of video games and the global growth of our cities, Playmaking can help us reduce the reproduction of inequalities, encourage people to have behaviors more civic and improve community cohesion or, in a simplified way, to enjoy public space by making responsible, positive and healthy use of it. It will depend on us, the urban planners, the programmers or the gamers what we want to do with all this and where we want to lead creativity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5P2oj-OPWc&list=PLOsKGjYPhYv8LI1XLrvG0Cy-Tc_SUcDWX https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9c2vvxc680fs3ta/AACXbsz_6N2uyxlcUaQEkIB6a?dl=0 Our idea contributes to uniting communities and making them participants in the collective creation of their closest environments.

More specifically, certain spaces (walls, open spaces, existing buildings, sidewalks, etc.) within Stellenbosch will be identified (according to “spaces of possible or un(der)used potential”) and marked with a QR code that can instantly be read using a Smartphone camera. When your Smartphone scans this code (via the app), it opens up an “virtual space” of that specific demarcated physical space. Here, people are presented with the possibility of submitting a proposal for that specific spaces’ (re)design. This gives ordinary people the possibility to re-imagine space according to their own needs and desires. Examples of such proposals can vary anywhere from an artistic mural on a blanc façade of a building or the installation of a bench along the sidewalk, to the complete (re)design of an entire public space (e.g. park or car parking). The Submission of proposals via this procedure can also be in the form of writing and sketches (for those who lack the digital skills necessary to submit artistic visualisations), to complete PDF’s of visualisations created on platforms such as Photoshop. Additionally, there are several benefits the application brings: Firstly, local authorities are playing an increasingly important role in improving the day to day life of their citizens. However, such efforts are often constraint by a lack of access to resources, funds, expertise, data etc. Through this app, resources are outsourced to the local community, inviting a kind of entrepreneurialism, while at the same time providing the local community with an increased opportunity to become involved in (re)-imagining the type of city/neighbourhood they would like to live in. Moreover, through the platform, local authorities are increasingly creating a virtual sphere for the collection of data, thus obtaining a better perception regarding the needs and wants of their communities – enabling them to better respond to community concerns. This represents a bottom-up approach regarding public participation, which symbolises an increased ‘citizens right to the city’. Secondly, this app/platform opens possible connections to Universities, where students in the fields of urban planning, architecture, design and art, are offered a practical and hands-on opportunity to experiment with applied-knowledge. Studies also show that when theoretical knowledge is given practical outlets, learning becomes more engaging, receptive and understood. Furthermore, students are able to build up ‘professional profiles’, where businesses can use the app to identify possible future business partners. Lastly, the idea is also that the app can play a significant role in tourism, where different designs are able to generate “likes” (almost in the same way Instagram does), thus creating a virtual tourist space for tourist to navigate an eye into a future potential of specific urban spaces.. Bilbao in Spain and Stellebosch in South Africa the idea aims to leverage technology (ICT) in a way that re-democratises space by giving more agency and empowerment for ordinary citizens to shape the urban environment in which they live, while enabling municipalities to more easily understand community needs through the collection of community data. Thus, by empowering citizens, cities can become more social and equitable. https://we.tl/t-L27yxm1Iv1 OR https://youtu.be/QGcypYH8oNM https://youtu.be/QGcypYH8oNM The application is a way to collect information on community needs and desires without having to make close contact interviews, surveys etc. GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being GOAL 4: Quality Education GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth Digital empowerment & capacity building Promoting digital public goods to create a more equitable world Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable 871742669628.906 7486503.26908986

Decide Madrid is a participatory platform for community engagement with city projects. In 2015, Madrid city council launched the Decide Madrid platform, based on the open-source software Consult, to improve public confidence in the local government. The platform aims to ensure transparent government proceedings while engaging the public in the policymaking and spending processes and engages residents in four ways: Participatory budgeting: residents can create, vote for, and support district-level and city-wide project spending proposals. Proposals: residents can propose and support new legislations that fall within the city council jurisdiction Consultations: residents can provide their opinions and vote on council proceedings Debate: residents can engage in deliberation, which will provide Madrid with access to public opinion. During the remodeling of Madrid’s Plaza de España, 26,961 Madrid residents were involved in the creation and voting of proposals. In 2018, Decide Madrid had more than 400,000 registered users. The model of decide Madrid, in conjunction with the usage of the free open-source Consul software, has been replicated in more than 90 cities and regions across the world.

Initially developed with the objective of strengthening the capacity of individuals to contribute to public decision-making within the government Governance Planning and Design Innovation Decidim is a digital platform for citizen participation In Catalan, Decidim means “let’s decide” or “we decide,” it is not solely a digital democracy tool, but rather an open source digital infrastructure for participatory democracy. Initially developed with the objective of strengthening the capacity of individuals to contribute to public decision-making within the government, Decidim is now used in contexts extending beyond government, including civil society, and community organisations. Working in two different ways, it enables participation according to the needs of its users, and it acts as a blueprint for supporting democratic practices through programming architecture, as administrators of the platform can combine different features to design a customised system rooted in participation. This digital infrastructure follows a social contract, or a set of guiding principles that translate to the design of the platform: it is free and open; transparent, traceable and interoperable; provides equal opportunities and respects privacy; embedded in democratic qualities and guaranteeing participation without discrimination. The platform must ensure inclusion and be multilayered, incorporating accessibility standards and integrating offline and online participation while strengthening knowledge and capacity. The design of the platform is collaborative by nature and continuously open to incorporate additional components developed by organisations, as anybody can copy, modify and install the software. DECIDIM is more like a democratic project than only a tool. It is unique in the fact that it is open source, and can be used by cities and organisations globally for various use cases. The tool embodies the core values of participation and inclusion, both in terms of the use cases it solves, and how the platform itself is structured for adaptation and redistribution.

Following the Her City process, multi-stakeholders are working alongside marginalized young women and girls, to redesign the area with a focus on accessibility, affordability, safety and inclusivity of public spaces for all. Youth and Livelihoods Gender inclusion Planning and Design Her City Toolbox promote girls' and young women's participation in urban planning and design processes, to create sustainable and inclusive cities. Her City is a joint initiative by UN-Habitat and the independent think tank Global Utmaning. It has been financed by the Swedish Innovation Agency Vinnova as an Innovation for Equality Project with valuable contributions from Block by Block Foundation, White Architects, Swedish Union of Tenants and MethodKit. The Her City Toolbox has been developed in close collaboration with a range of multi-stakeholders from public sector, private sector, research, civil society and citizens. The toolbox supports urban development from a girl’s perspective. It guides urban actors to implement projects through a step-by-step methodology. Through the provision of a digital platform hercity.unhabitat.org that is open and accessible for all, we facilitate an ongoing dialogue between professionals and citizens. Her City offers a cost-efficient toolbox that follows a unique process of 9 blocks as a digital guideline on how to co-plan cities from a girl’s perspective. The 9 blocks represent the three phases of the urban development process and will guide you through the assessment, design and implementation phase. Each block contains a number of activities with detailed steps to follow in order to deliver on your Her City project. The toolbox includes checklists, calendars, agendas, manuals, forms, boards, apps, templates, surveys and visualisation services. Her City integrates tools such as Jamboard, KoBo collect, MethodKit, Minecraft, SketchFab, SketchUp, interactive maps, among others. The Her City toolbox now has 820 users from 315 cities in 95 countries. Her City gathers 125 initiatives worldwide. We currently run 10 ongoing partnership projects in Africa, Middle East, Latin America and Europe. Buildings and physical infrastructure must be gender inclusive, together with urban policies and programs that provide substantial possibilities for women's participation in defining urban governance and development. Her City provides that opportunity - to include girls and young women early in the planning and design process. By gathering knowledge about how the local environment affects most vulnerable and marginalised populations’ access to the public space, the process identify opportunities and provide useful tools for practitioners to improve the health, well-being and living conditions for these groups in particular, and society as a whole in general.  If we let citizens that are rarely heard be the experts, our cities and communities will become more inclusive, equal and sustainable. hercity.unhabitat.org https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aoXQb3RfFM In the light of the COVID pandemic, the Her City team started to develop a digital toolbox for cities to accelerate the inclusion in sustainable urban planning and design despite the current crisis. Participatory processes are vital in urban development for ensuring cities for all and the well being of marginalized groups. In the face of the pandemic these processes can not be postponed but should be accelerated to meet the changing needs and opportunities of citizens in relation to public space.

Damascus, Syria, Western Asia. Over the last decade, Syria has been suffering from one of the worst conflicts in the world, and everyone there got affected. Youth, the largest demographic group in Syria, has been paying one of the highest prices in this conflict. In addition to suffering from poverty, displacement, and lack of opportunities and hope, they are less empowered than ever. In the absence of convenient platforms to communicate their ideas and future projects, they are limited in their ability to channel their ambitions. So that EntrePioneers 2030 platform was founded to be the first social platform connecting young people in Syria and the MENA region and Syrians abroad, to develop new solutions, work with experts to scale up their impact, and together rebuild Syria and create a more sustainable and just world for all.

Governance Planning and Design Machine learning for improving democracy processes Governments often struggle to build policies that address the opportunities and challenges posed by digital technology. As technology continues to transform and shape daily life, it becomes increasingly important for local governments to foster dialog with residents to ensure that policy-making actually meets their needs. In 2015, rideshare companies like Uber emerged in Taiwan, posing many challenges to the regulatory and policy norms that had been established with taxi drivers in the city. In an attempt to address the issue, the government and a civic technology group g0v, known as “gov zero”, launched an open public engagement platform called VTaiwan. VTaiwan uses an open source system for survey research and machine learning data analysis, named Pol.is. The tool enabled thousands of ideas to be submitted in response to the issues related to rideshare regulation, which could then be supported by other participants through a voting feature. Areas of consensus were then identified and included in the next phase of discussions that resulted in a draft bill sent to parliament with clear proposals for new regulations. The resolution of rideshare regulation through the vTaiwan platform is considered a successful example of a digital tool used for public deliberation, however success for platforms like these depends on strong political commitment and stakeholder engagement.

GALLANT aims to deliver the social priorities of the UN SDGs while remaining within the planetary boundaries of a 1.5°C world - using doughnut economics as a framework. The programme brings together over 50 multidisciplinary researchers with 29 public and private sector partners across the city region. Together we aim not only to bring nature back into the city system, but make meaningful, lasting change that embeds sustainability across major policy decisions and empowers communities as stewards of their local places. GALLANT will work with local partners and communities to transform the city into a thriving place for people and nature. GALLANT will help Glasgow achieve its goal to be carbon neutral by 2030 and accelerate its path to climate resilience. Work package 1 (WP1) will address flood risk related to tidal changes, sea level rise, and increased water from extreme weather events. GALLANT aims to transform land use along the River Clyde by identifying sites for urban corridor parks for flood water storage, while also improving areas along the Clyde for wildlife and people. WP2 recognises that cities can play a key role in halting biodiversity loss by restoring and connecting currently isolated habitat patches. GALLANT will improve biodiversity by restoring and connecting habitats across Glasgow. Citizens will play a key role in helping researchers to map important bird and mammal species that lead to new management practices in greenspaces to increase connectivity between habitats. WP3 will trial new ways of regenerating derelict and polluted land through technology that mineralises greenhouse gases and traps organic pollutants into building materials for the future. Returning these sites for community use and ecologically functional places. WP4 recognises that connectivity is important not only for nature, but for active travel and inclusive mobility. GALLANT will work with communities to increase active travel including cycling, wheeling and walking to reduce car journeys, improve air quality and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. WP5 tackles sustainable heating and housing as key challenges to achieving net zero carbon. GALLANT will develop sustainable low carbon energy solutions at the community scale that empower local people as active energy citizens to co-create clean energy demand. Through our living lab approach we will learn how to create solutions that are place-based and meaningful to local people. Our global network of partners, including with C40 Cities, means that we will exchange our learning and solutions with both academics and policy leaders across the world. This is an exciting opportunity for Glasgow to lead and carry on the legacy from the recent COP26. Glasgow, UK We are just starting the programme (January 31, 2022) as a UKRI-funded strategic programme. The entire programme starts with collaboration with communities and stakeholders as co-creators of programme outcomes. The systems approach will have impacts across environment, public health, and economy. https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/sustainablesolutions/ourprojects/gallant/ https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/sustainablesolutions/ourprojects/gallant/ It stems from solutions identified during Green Recovery Dialogues with university researchers, practitioners, and policymakers GOAL 1: No Poverty GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being GOAL 4: Quality Education Policy transformation Promoting digital public goods to create a more equitable world Strengthening digital capacity-building Building a more effective architecture for digital cooperation 714579752325.069 16135220.3147309

Community-driven networks: The Tegola project in Scottish regions 01/06/2007 01/09/2008 Project Close Project/Program Infrastructure Long distance WIFI network for remote locations. Innovation Planning and Design The Tegola project leveraged terrestrial wireless and engaged community involvement to get internet to rural or remote locations. The Tegola project began as a joint initiative between the University of Edinburgh and the University of the Highlands and Islands in 2007. It installed a testbed that covered some of the most remote parts of the UK mainland. One of the primary reasons for a lack of investment by commercial providers in this region is its small client base, and rurality. To mitigate the high costs of broadband deployment in the area, the Tegola project leveraged terrestrial wireless and engaged community involvement. Volunteers helped erect masts, set up power cables, and assisted in the maintenance of the distribution networks. The project was successful in providing network coverage to around 1,000 people in six rural communities. In addition to boosting the performance of local businesses, access to high-speed internet has also facilitated emergency health services. This test project has also incentivised other rural villages to initiate similar projects through community-based efforts. For remote areas to achieve internet connectivity, access to affordable backhaul is vital. In this context, backhaul can be established with conventional home broadband connections for providing shared connectivity, a collective subscription to a business broadband connection, or by securing a high-speed leased line from a local network service provider. Whichever the case, it is important to adopt a deployment model that involves community involvement in remote areas, as it can prompt the cost-effective and time-efficient implementation of broadband for those underserved. UK Tegola has become a replicable model for community-driven local access network deployments in Scotland. It has also inspired research into tools, systems and techniques to aid communities in deploying and maintaining rural networks like that of Tegola; simplifying network management, and adaptive spectrum use for robust and high performance operation are just some of the areas of research that have been inspired by this innovative project https://wayback.archive-it.org/12090/20161223155819/https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/content/tegola-project-scottish-regions https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h0nHjf8iPZfghRAfATB3vTod198JLXki/view?usp=sharing NA GOAL 17: Partnerships for the Goals GOAL 10: Reduced Inequalities GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities Financing digital urban innovation Digital policy transformation Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Strengthening digital capacity-building 714579752325.069 16135220.3147309

Analytic outputs are accessible in standard formats (.SHP, GeoJSON) using Open Source software (QGIS). Climate change Economy and Finance Innovation Integrated Urban Models explain how the built environment – pedestrian and street networks, land use, density and public transport - affects daily behaviour and impacts on long-term outcomes. Space Syntax Integrated Urban Models (IUMs) have emerged from academic research and real-world projects over a number of years. IUMs have been used around the world to identify how the built environment of a city makes daily activities possible or impossible. The combination of street network, urban block size, land use mix, and density can make it possible to walk to work, school or local shops, or impossible. Constraints which may be inconvenient on a daily basis, can have profound impacts on long-term outcomes. IUMs provide a quantitative description of the way the built environment characteristics combine to affect these outcomes. A range of studies around the world shows IUMs can explain a range of daily impacts including mode share and distribution of pedestrian movement, and also longer-term impacts such as health and well-being. IUMs are created in a way that they can be combined with wider datasets, such as the census, which enables environmental characteristics to be understood in combination with socio-economic or demographic characteristics. Analytic outputs include highly visual thematic maps, and statistical information. IUMs can be created as bespoke models on a city-by-city basis, and in the UK a pre-processed model of the entire country is available. There are a range of ways to access IUMs; bespoke or use-case specific webapps have been created to present specific analytic outputs and remove technical barriers to accessing them. Alternatively, data can be accessed using GIS software for detailed exploration by expert users. The ability of the IUM to understand how the built environment supports key outcomes can be used for multiple purposes: 1. Objectively, consistently and quantitatively profile existing cities to identify pockets of higher risk, and explain the nature of this risk – areas which may be poorly connected to services, car dependent, or which house a vulnerable community, 2. Inform city-level prioritisation strategies to improve areas based on need and risk, 3. Define briefs for the improvement of specific areas, 4. Scenario-test planning proposals to ensure they make positive outcomes possible, and; 5. Develop non-physical interventions – these could include delivering services in a different way, or targeting educational campaigns. In 2020 the IUM formed a key component of the 2030 masterplan for the capital of Kazkahstan, Nur-Sultan. The model was used to understand whether the current city sets in place the conditions to create a Liveable, Sustainable and Healthy city, to target specific spatial improvements, and to test whether proposed changes work. Alongside the masterplan process a capacity building programme was carried out to teach planners how to use the IUM. Multiple regions including Central and South East Assia, the Middle-East and Europe. The use of IUMs allowed an evidence-based design and planning process to focus on how intended long-term outcomes can be enabled by the built environment. The IUM provided benchmark metrics to understand the existing city, identify areas for improvement, carry out scenario testing of design proposals, and communicate option selection processes to stakeholders. https://spacesyntax.com/project/uk-integrated-urban-model/ https://spacesyntax.com/cityzenexplorer/ https://spacesyntax.com/HERE/ https://spacesyntaxltd-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/e_parham_spacesyntax_com/EjoRWbEHK2tAuVnA55LwolwBNsWXkT0nEYXIHM7HDg-r-w?e=d44v5P GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities Policy transformation Strengthening digital capacity-building 714579752325.069 16135220.3147309

The datasets supplied by the stakeholders and used for the rollout helped to understand how the programmes interact. GIS (geographic information system) helped to accurately map the linkage between social housing stock, planned regeneration works and fibre broadband rollouts of infrastructure providers. Housing Urban Policy Youth and Livelihoods Putting social benefit and digital inclusion at the centre of a broadband rollout programme, moving away from a purely commercial agreement to focus on the needs of the most vulnerable in communities. The capacity to access, use, share and create information and knowledge online was recognised by the UN as a human right in 2016. Covid-19 and the international lockdowns illuminated severe hardship for people who are digitally excluded. It also demonstrated that those without access to internet and online services, or without electronic devices to work and learn, were often the same groups already facing the biggest challenges in their lives. In the UK, where 96 percent of households can access superfast internet connection, over 9 percent of households with children did not have access to a laptop, desktop PC or tablet at home. This represents thousands of children who have not been able to access online classes during school lockdowns, pushing them even further back in educational attainment compared to their peers. Meanwhile, technologies such as full fibre broadband with ultra-fast speeds are only available for 18 percent of households. With emerging technologies it’s becoming clear that even superfast internet isn’t enough. While some progress is being made on faster internet, there is still very little being done to provide even basic speed to everyone. The UK Government launched ‘Project Gigabit’ in 2021, a programme that aims to achieve 85 percent gigabit-capable coverage for all UK households. After the first UK lockdown, many local leaders realised the urgency of improving digital inclusion and connectivity for residents. The London Borough of Barnet asked Inner Circle’s digital expert to help it and neighbouring councils to develop a so-called wayleave framework. This project, the first of its kind to put social benefit at the centre of a broadband rollout programme, will extend and monitor fibre broadband rollout to councils’ social housing stock and bring dependable high-speed internet to thousands of residents. This is an innovative model that could be replicated and rolled out across the country. Around 20 percent of English homes are rented from a local authority. In this environment, it’s clear that local authorities and housing associations have a critical role to play in ensuring residents have a secure home – which now also means having access to the basic right of internet connectivity. This Inner Circle project showed that being able to connect those buildings to the fibre network is necessary, but a complicated task. This approach allowed the Council to maximise the social value benefit of arranging internet connectivity for its residents –resulting in free and subsidised connections and training and job opportunities for local people with broadband providers. The agreement ensured that the partnership between the Council and infrastructure providers always kept the focus on residents’ needs. This project developed a wayleave framework in only six months utilising very limited council resources in a cost neutral way. It has unlocked a remarkable £10m+ worth of digital infrastructure investment in one London borough by showing how to work with the public sector. Working at a quick and efficient pace, it took only eight months from the start of the project to connect the first residents to the fibre broadband infrastructure. United Kingdom Tackling digital exclusion is about much more than establishing digital connectivity. To achieve real inclusion, people need reliable devices and an understanding of how to use them. Increasing digital access and digital knowledge together can have a significant effect on people’s lives and their ability to flourish and be happy and productive. The framework agreement allowed the Council to provide the required project management and technical resources for the fibre broadband rollout without cost involvement at their end. The infrastructure providers offered free and subsidised connections which enabled the Council to widen its support for their residents in need. Such subsidised connections that allow households to connect to the internet are estimated to create an increase in wellbeing by £222.25 per annum (Simetrica-Jacobs) per home. This vital framework is supporting effective partnership among different stakeholders – council officers, community organisations, fibre broadband providers - by aligning everyone’s actions to a central goal of reducing digital exclusion with efficiency, speed, and care. The infrastructure rollout created new job opportunities. The Council and private sector are working together to fill those positions locally and create more social value in the respective borough. The agreements between the partners unlocked the possibility to train local Digital Ambassadors who are helping residents to learn the Essential Digital Skills (EDS) that cover not only communicating and making transactions on the internet, but also to use it safely and securely. This is a key component to improving local wellbeing as evidence has shown that an improvement in EDS is associated with an increase in wellbeing in excess of £1,000 per annum (Australian Social Bank). https://www.innercircleconsulting.co.uk/portfolio/digital-inclusion/ https://www.innercircleconsulting.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/shutterstock_1675198060-min-scaled.jpg GOAL 10: Reduced Inequality GOAL 4: Quality Education Policy transformation Achieving universal connectivity by 2030 Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable 714579752325.069 16135220.3147309

Based on the identified needs of local stakeholders and their perceptions of risk, the application enables two-way information sharing between local communities and government organisations, facilitates more efficient communication networks, and functions as a platform for action to enable risk reduction. Climate change Innovation Resilience and Risk Reduction The co-created application addresses local stakeholder needs by facilitating knowledge exchange and communication between vulnerable communities and government authorities in Mexico City to manage and reduce impact of chronic flooding risk, which is increasing due to climate change. Low-income communities living in low-lying areas of Mexico City are exposed to recurring flash flooding annually during the rainy season. In addition, rainfall patterns are changing as a result of climate change, with more frequent high-intensity rainfall events exacerbating the risk that these communities face. Risk management in these areas is hampered by fragmented governance, and interventions are focussed on reacting to disasters once they have happened rather than on preventing them. This collaborative project between the University of Edinburgh (UK), Heriot-Watt University (UK), and the National Polytechnical Institute (Mexico) mapped flooding risk with local communities, identified the perceptions of local stakeholders (communities and local authorities) in terms of flooding risk and their needs in terms of risk management, in two neighbourhoods of the city: La Colmena and El Peñon de los Baños. The project identified the need for two-way information sharing between communities and local authorities, for example to share local knowledge of areas at risk and damaged housing for insurance claims, as well as flooding risk under different hydro-meteorological scenarios. In addition, the research identified the need to systematise communication between communities and local authorities, which is currently performed through informal WhatsApp messaging groups, for example to communicate the location of blocked drains, or the need to send a suction truck to clear flooded areas. Finally, communities need information about how to prepare for heavy rainfall in order to minimise the risk to their households. The project therefore co-created a mobile application incorporating functionalities to address all three of those needs, by delivering: an online collaborative mapping platform where both communities and local authorities can upload data; an instant messaging service which allows communities and local authorities to communicate clearly and effectively; and an information platform hosting critical information for households to prepare for flooding and respond effectively to reduce their risk. Through the project’s collaboration with the Secretariat for Integrated Risk Management and Civil Protection of Mexico City, the application is currently being piloted in five areas at the greatest risk of flooding in Mexico City, with the participation of the local communities, local government and city government. Researchers are continuing to facilitate this process by investigating how stakeholders use the application and incorporating their feedback into the application design. México City Iztapalapa Municipality (La Colmena-Ermita Zaragoza neighbourhood) and Venustiano Carranza Municipality (El Peñon de los Baños neighbourhood). The application which is currently being piloted represents an innovative tool co-created with local stakeholders to manage chronic flooding risk in low-income areas of Mexico City in a more integrated way. The application facilitates knowledge exchange and more inclusive governance, with the aim of reducing inequalities in the city by reducing the impact of hydro-meteorological risk on poor communities. At this pilot stage, the application has benefited living conditions through reducing flooding risks in the participating neighbourhoods (over 28,000 inhabitants in La Colmena and near 9,000 in El Peñon). The co-created application is in line with progressive new legislation on risk management brought in by Mexico City in 2019, which aims to strengthen risk governance and promote a culture of risk reduction in the city under the banner of stakeholder co-responsibilities. This new application has the potential to coordinate actions between communities and government organisations to effectively reduce flooding risk by enabling more efficient communication and information sharing, at a range of geographical scales. The project has an ongoing collaboration with the Secretariat for Integrated Risk Management and Civil Protection of Mexico City, which is the official government agency responsible for ensuring risk management in the city, and which is facilitating the pilot testing of the application within five neighbourhoods considered at the greatest risk of flooding. The application also has the potential to be used in or adapted for other areas of the city, other cities, and in other countries, as well as to manage risk to different types of natural hazards. https://www.globalurbancollaborative.org/co-created-smart-city-solutions https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11fLXbcI-f16NXE5GtpSjIgrB_vPow7GX?usp=sharing GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being GOAL 13: Climate Action Digital empowerment & capacity building Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Promoting digital public goods to create a more equitable world Strengthening digital capacity-building 714579752325.069 16135220.3147309

Based on the identified needs of local stakeholders and their perceptions of risk, the application enables two-way information sharing between local communities and government organisations, facilitates more efficient communication networks, and functions as a platform for action to enable risk reduction. Climate change Governance Innovation The co-created application addresses local stakeholder needs by facilitating knowledge exchange and communication between vulnerable communities and government authorities in Mexico City to manage and reduce impact of chronic flooding risk, which is increasing due to climate change. Low-income communities living in low-lying areas of Mexico City are exposed to recurring flash flooding annually during the rainy season. In addition, rainfall patterns are changing as a result of climate change, with more frequent high-intensity rainfall events exacerbating the risk that these communities face. Risk management in these areas is hampered by fragmented governance, and interventions are focussed on reacting to disasters once they have happened rather than on preventing them. This collaborative project between the University of Edinburgh (UK), Heriot-Watt University (UK), and the National Polytechnical Institute (Mexico) mapped flooding risk with local communities, identified the perceptions of local stakeholders (communities and local authorities) in terms of flooding risk and their needs in terms of risk management, in two neighbourhoods of the city: La Colmena and El Peñon de los Baños. The project identified the need for two-way information sharing between communities and local authorities, for example to share local knowledge of areas at risk and damaged housing for insurance claims, as well as flooding risk under different hydro-meteorological scenarios. In addition, the research identified the need to systematise communication between communities and local authorities, which is currently performed through informal WhatsApp messaging groups, for example to communicate the location of blocked drains, or the need to send a suction truck to clear flooded areas. Finally, communities need information about how to prepare for heavy rainfall in order to minimise the risk to their households.

USA, Europe and MEA (Middle East and Africa) A leading provider of energy and utility explored a futureproof solution to optimize service operations and asset tracking to save on fuel consumption and reduce pollution levels. As a regional provider of energy and utility services, their core business focuses on transmission and distribution of electricity, natural gas, including installation and maintenance for heating, air conditioning, and appliances. Their field services consist of a large workforce, a fleet of more than 5000 vehicles, and over 2 million SKUs / equipment catering to over 1.6 million customers. Their service technicians visit job sites every day to address repair and install service requests and field maintenance tasks. One of the significant challenges they encountered was an increase in the number of return trips for the truck. Service technicians would often find out at the job site that the required tools were either not loaded on the truck or needed calibration, which increased fuel consumption and directly impacted the environment. Nivid's strategic objective is to accelerate IoT solution deployment with scalability, flexibility, security, and efficiencies of a single vendor, single platform for any use case. Nivid delivers a unified platform to manage end-to-end IoT solution lifecycle to make IoT adoption easier, with immediate ROI to deliver positive business outcomes. We implemented our flagship solution N-Smart (Asset management) as a unified, fully managed IoT-as-a-Service platform that offers turnkey IoT solutions, including the lifecycle services in a subscription-based model for this client. This IoT-based solution consists of BLE tags attached to every tool. It enables real-time asset tracking and remote monitoring to ensure that proper tools are loaded in the truck before leaving for service. Any exception would generate a notification to the truck driver and allow him to take appropriate action. The solution is based on BLE tracking technology with web-based dashboards for the service technicians and the administrators. The fleet is fitted with an intelligent Edge gateway device/hub consisting of BLE, Cellular, and GPS. Before starting the trip, the Hub scans for the available BLE tags attached to the tools, process the information, and transmits to a central server. The server receives the tag info and maps it with the list of tools assigned for the truck. If any missing tools are detected or if the tools are identified for an expired calibration cycle, the service technician is alerted and notified immediately. The technician can instantly request a replacement tool, and the administrators can view and approve the requests, allocate service tools immediately. The BLE Hub will scan for tools at regular intervals during the round trip and alert the service technician for any exception. By implementing this solution, our client had numerous benefits: • Efficient management of incidents with improved service resolution times. • Real-time tool tracking and visibility, including remote tool monitoring. • Preventative maintenance of service tools which increased its lifetime. • Improved safety and compliance. • Reduced fuel expenses by 18% • Eliminated the number of trips due to missing tools or out of calibration, contributing to energy-saving goals and green initiatives. https://nsmart.io/ https://netorg310037.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites/SalesMarketing/Shared%20Documents/NSmart%20Solution?csf=1&web=1&e=6LGfvb GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities GOAL 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure GOAL 12: Responsible Consumption and Production Digital empowerment & capacity building Building a more effective architecture for digital cooperation 21728941108593.9 99206321.7380237

Urban Policy Economy and Finance Innovation Reducing the digital divide by providing affordable internet MetaMesh is a community Internet provider for poor neighborhoods in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (US) area. At the time of its creation in 2013, 23 percent of people in Pittsburgh did not have Internet access due to the high price of internet packages relative to the city’s median income. To solve this problem, MetaMesh set up a provider network that distributed Internet signals from its own repeater tower. The signal is processed by receivers in individual households and is later passed to either Wi-Fi routers or cable outlets. Each receiver is a light box (the size of a coffee cup) and was distributed by Meta Mesh to communities that were included in the program. The total capacity is 50 mbps for download and 25 mbps for upload, enough to have several family members on a video call at once. The service is free and besides the connection, it also offers technical support and troubleshooting service. One of the major challenges during the early stage of the project was the uneven Internet coverage in the area. To address this, MetaMesh partnered with the University of Pittsburgh to create a coverage map and efficiently communicate which areas in the neighborhood could effectively receive the signal. The University also provided access to its major campus building - the Tower of Learning - as a location for a repeater tower. Later, MetaMesh expanded its network of repeater towers to increase access in the neighborhood. The local universities, including University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, were also involved in community workshops and outreach events.

The City of Baltimore recently supplemented existing cable along sections of the city’s public safety radio backbone. New conduit and fiber were constructed in many additional routes as a result. But for some existing conduit, fiber was set aside for future leasing to commercial providers. The fiber and conduit, which connect the Baltimore Technology Park to other parts of the city, were designed both to meet the city’s own internal communications needs and to enable new private partners to build or expand broadband facilities in Baltimore. The Inter-County Broadband Network, in collaboration with the On Maryland Broadband Initiative, has installed more than 1610 kilometers of fiber optics and associated electronics to create a robust network. This statewide network covers nine Central Maryland jurisdictions and connects around 1,000 community anchor institutions, including libraries, schools, hospitals, and fire and police stations. The network passes 71,000 businesses, services 1.8 million households, and delivers broadband to every county in the state. The network was partially funded by the United States Federal Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP), with matching funding from every participating jurisdiction. It is the only network in the United States that is completely owned by state and local governments. This collaboration between the different administrative branches is yet another case study that exemplifies the importance of cooperative efforts between relevant entities. Affordable, accessible data-related initiatives can be best facilitated by continued coordination and strengthened collaboration between multiple stakeholders. Baltimore, USA The network spans 4,200 square miles across central Maryland and passes approximately 71,000 businesses and 1.8 million households. It incorporates approximately 1,000 linear miles of new fiber and 2,400 miles of existing fiber to directly connect thousands of entities onto a single network. ICBN currently connects as many as 1,000 community anchor institutions, including 450 K–12 schools, 200 government facilities, 15 community colleges, six other institutions of higher learning, 40 libraries, and 2 healthcare providers, with the capability to serve thousands more. http://icbn-md.com/faq/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y53Mexc6qrNo2qSsyFcE5NYyZwda2Qd7/view?usp=sharing NA GOAL 9: Industry Innovation and Infrastructure GOAL 17: Partnerships for the Goals GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth Financing digital urban innovation Digital policy transformation Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Strengthening digital capacity-building 21728941108593.9 99206321.7380237

It's back end it's connected with the cities CMR system ensuring that flagged issues are routed directly to the appropriate department. Innovation Governance Planning and Design 311SA enables citizens to report service requests in less than 60 seconds with it's unique focus on social media and game-like features. The City of San Antonio (USA) expanded its civic engagement channels to include the mobile application 311SA, which gamifies the process of reporting city service issues to the local government. Where previously residents had to call a hotline and wait in a queue for their case to be heard, now users of the mobile application can “flag” issues on a map using various colours that correlate to the severity and status of the case. Residents can report any concerns related to city services, including aggressive animals, graffiti, streetlight malfunctions, pothole repair locations, or garbage issues such as damaged carts or lack of garbage pick ups. Users can flag their issues and provide information either publicly or anonymously. Overall, 311SA is considered a social network for civic engagement because its features make reporting issues to the city fun through features like upvoting, photos, and competition for most submitted issues on a leaderboard. Most voted concerns appear in the app’s feed and users receive badges and points based on the leaderboard, which encourages non-anonymous submissions and ownership of the initiatives and efforts towards community improvement. San Antonio, USA The new app, 311SA, enables citizens to report service requests in less than 60 seconds – but ease-of-use is not it's only advantage. What really sets 311SA apart is its unique focus on social media and game-like features. Citizens can share their service requests via social media – such as Facebook and Twitter – and the app encourages residents to up-vote issues that have already been flagged. Regular users are rewarded with points that can earn them medals and titles. https://www.sanantonio.gov/CustomerService/mobileapp https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sanantonio.gov%2Fcustomerservice%2Fmobileapp&psig=AOvVaw0V23Zy2BkeaDzmS2ENSipL&ust=1649336454770000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAoQjRxqFwoTCIiRrJ6___YCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD NA GOAL 10: Reduced Inequalities GOAL 9: Industry Innovation and Infrastructure GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities Digital policy transformation Digital empowerment & capacity building Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable Promoting trust and security in the digital environment 21728941108593.9 99206321.7380237

Innovation Planning and Design Mapping the digital divide in relation to the amount of wifi signal measured by a WI-FI sensor used in garbage trucks Determining the extent of internet infrastructure that exists is an ongoing challenge for local governments. As a result, some cities have taken innovative and cost-effective approaches to mapping the digital divide using a combination of technologies. For example, the City of Shreveport, Louisiana developed a low cost way to produce a map of the digital divide for the city and surrounding neighborhoods. By automating this process, the City was able to reduce the costs of sending volunteers to survey the entire city on foot. The City used GPS detectors to pick up the location of domestic wi-fi networks from the public right of way. These detectors were attached to trash trucks during their routes, which allowed the authorities to obtain detailed network information for nearly all neighborhoods. The GPS sensors consisted of a battery and a standard GPS chip programmed with open-source software, making the technology cheap to replicate in several trucks. By collecting information on the availability of private wifi spots and comparing that with demographic and socioeconomic information, the City was able to decipher the affordability of broadband networks at a granular level. The information was gathered, analysed and reported on the city’s website. By mapping this data, the City was better able to allocate broadband grant funds to the communities most in need. The city is also planning several community-wide networks and digital skills training programs to supplement its connectivity initiatives. Shreveport, USA The solution showed allow the city of Shreveport to measure the amount of wifi signals in each postal code in order to have a better understanding of the digital divide. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/e1735831a84844f1a7096995bb58cc94 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EWOgojj3tlaJ5K-3zL4Cnb-2YSEsZO6m/view?usp=sharing The information is used to reduce the digital divide and provide everyone the possibility to do remote work and access to education and services.

Native innovation for digital sovereignty: four tribal broadband case studies 01/01/2009 01/04/2022 Project Performance and Monitoring Project/Program Infrastructure NA Innovation Planning and Design Build their own networks and act as their own Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for the purpose of addressing the digital divide Native Nations refers to indigenous land with territorial history in the United States, where there are land reservation boundaries by law. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) uses the term “Tribal Lands” to address these lands as well as other communities in Hawaii and Alaska, such as the Hawaiian homelands, tribal statistical areas, and Alaska Native Villages. Currently there are 574 federally-recognised indigenous or native tribes in the U.S., and more than 60 state-recognised tribes. In pursuit of high-speed internet connectivity, several tribes and Native Nations have embraced a “digital sovereignty” movement based on the idea of spectrum sovereignty, where Native Nations have the right to access and use radio frequencies under a federal trust responsibility where resources are managed by the federal government on behalf of Native Nations. Native Nations demonstrate the capacity of community driven networks in the many ways they have innovated to build their own networks and act as their own Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for the purpose of addressing the digital divide, and encouraging economic development. By owning and operating their own infrastructure, Native Nations see new opportunities to enact sovereignty by keeping power and data within their communities, rather than relying on external providers. For example, in 2004 the MidWestern Coeur d’Alene Tribe leveraged a federal Community Connect Grant to develop a pilot broadband network using unlicensed spectrum bands. Doing so readied the tribe to capture future resources based on the success of an initial pilot and expand their network using additional federal resources. In Idaho, the Nez Perce Tribe leveraged federal funding assistance to establish a tribal utility, Nez Perce Networks. The utility supported by the Nation was able to sell internet connectivity service directly to homes and businesses, in addition to leasing tower space to cellular companies. In the absence of federal assistance, the Fond du Lac Band in Minnesota worked with private philanthropic donors to build a network that could reach some of its most rural inhabitants. While undergoing construction, the Fond du Lac Band leveraged their existing institutional network to install wireless hotspots on government-owned buildings. Finally, the St Regis Mohawk Tribe focused on delivering devices to youth and community members who could not afford them under a Broadband Technology Opportunity Program grant that brought 60 public computers to key places throughout their region, including the Boys & Girls Club, a cultural center, and senior centers. All of these cases highlight how Native Nations have been able to overcome the digital divide, even when circumstances and structural systems make it challenging to access funds or establish partnerships.

Urban Health Planning and Design Urban Policy BHC leveraged systems mapping and mini-pilots to help develop a Healthy City Action plan the covers the actions needed to improve urban health in a coherent and transparent way. Rapidly growing cities face new and compounding health challenges, leading governments and donors to seek innovative ways to support healthier, more resilient urban growth. One such approach is the dynamic systems mapping process developed by Engaging Inquiry (EI) for the USAID-funded Building Healthy Cities project (BHC) in four cities in Asia. This paper provides details on the theory and methods of the process. While systems mapping is not new, the approach detailed in this paper has been uniquely adapted to the purpose of municipal planning. Strategic stakeholder engagement, including the facilitation of participatory workshops with relevant sector actors and community town halls, is at the core of this approach and led to deeper insights, greater buy-in, and shared understanding specific to the city’s unique opportunities and challenges. This innovative mapping process is a powerful tool for defining municipal priorities within growing cities across the globe, where the situation is rapidly changing and evolving. It can be used to provide evidence-based information on where to invest to gain the biggest impact on specific goals. Southeast Asia See BHC's site and publications for details - this approach has impact city planning and funding in a significant way in two of our four cities, and in a more indirect way in the remaining two cities. https://www.jsi.com/charting-route-better-urban-health/; other reports and articles available on our website https://www.jsi.com/resource/theory-of-action-workshop-report-indore/ GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being GOAL 10: Reduced Inequality GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities Digital empowerment & capacity building Policy transformation Promoting digital public goods to create a more equitable world Ensuring digital inclusion for all, including the most vulnerable 357744090694.398 7599975.82263852
