Circularity is essential in energy, food production, water and waste management sectors, as well as, climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. Data plays a key role in accelerating circular pathways for many corporate organizations, but what about cities? How can an effective use of city data improve circularity and environmental awareness? In this section we’ll discuss how can effective use of city data can help us to create a circular city.
This section will be as interesting for citizens as for government officials and smart city tech fans. We'll talk about how urban projects can embrace transparency and community engagement by going open source. We'll try to find answers to the questions: which technologies can help with open source data collection and management? What are the potential obstacles?
Living labs and innovation hubs are trending within the topic of smart cities. Inspired by sustainable living, they test the latest technologies that accelerate sharing and connectivity. They also change the nature of data management and collection, accordingly. This section will explore urban data innovation and collection strategies in their current form as well as try to answer the questions about the future of city data. The discussion will revolve around how and why living labs and innovation hubs are affecting data pathways.
PCDC is hosted by the city of Prague to accelerate the sharing of the best practices, networking, and community engagement in the sphere of urban data. Each year we focus on excelling data practices in different areas and bring together experts from different fields to discuss the potential to change our cities for better through city-data.
Last year we’ve explored the consciousness of smart cities through the topics of mobility as a service, community engagement and sustainability, open data and API and building information modeling. Keynotes were delivered by Ira Winder (MIT), Ekim Tan (Play the City), Michael Woodbridge (New Cities) and Ross Douglas (Autonomy, Paris). A friendly atmosphere accompanied the discussion throughout two conference days. Small scale afternoon workshops that always follow the morning presentations enabled speakers and visitors to abandon the barriers and widen their horizons together.
This year we open a discussion about modularity in the city by picking three main areas that are gaining traction: circular economy, innovation, and open-source. Around three hundred attendees will come together to address practical concerns in regard to advancing circularity, open-source, and innovation hubs and living labs in their cities. Limited capacity workshops for professionals and municipal workers in respective fields will highlight the topics that Prague is aspiring to pursue in the future.
