Urban Insights Data Lab

NEW DATA MODEL FROM DENMARK CAN INSPIRE INTERNATIONALLY At the final event of Urban Insights Data Lab, "Results & Next Steps" you can learn about the significant achievements of the project over the past two years. At the event you will meet Steve Turner from Great Britain who is Director of 3Ci (Cities Commission for Climate Investment) and responsible for helping the major cities in Britain reach Net Zero.   Steve Turner was formerly Digital Cities Lead for Arup and delivered sustainability focused technology strategies for some of the largest developments in the UK, Europe, and the Middle East, and he has been following the progress of Urban Insights Data Lab over the duration of the project. At this event, Steve Turner will tell us why he finds the results of Urban Insights interesting and which new possibilities these results may create internationally in regard to data driven urban development.   You can learn more and meet the people behind the new data sources and solutions at Urban Insights Data Lab’s final event on: 📆October 24th  ⏱️14:00-17:00 📍Axelborg, Vesterbrogade 4, 1609 Kbh V You may sign up for free here: https://lnkd.in/djghmDQi.. Urban Insights has gathered many stakeholders from the eco-system for urban development in order to pinpoint the needs for data in urban development. New data products have been developed that can be used for urban development projects across the public and private sectors and across different topics, such as green cities, healthy cities and livable cities. As a result, 3Business Denmark who is hosting this event and other data providers can now present data packages that answer much more specific questions than was previously the case.   The collaboration between municipalities, private sector case-owners, data providers and others has resulted in new insights – as well as new data offers tailored for urban development. At this event, Urban Insights Data Lab will also present the model for a data collaborative for urban development and tell you what the project is about to transition into.   #smartcities #data #urbandevelopment 

In Urban Insights Data Lab we are thrilled to officially announce that Nabolagsatlas (the Danish Neighbourhood Atlas) has become a data source in the project.   BUILD at Aalborg Universitet have created the Danish Neighbourhood Atlas (https://lnkd.in/d5Dq22Gh), which is an interactive decision-support tool for urban as well as rural development. It allows users to explore the evolution of various social and economic indicators across 13,000 Danish neighborhoods over the past 30 years. You can try it out right away and discover the development over time using parameters such as prosperity, housing, demographics, residential mobility, education or work and income.   Co-financed by WE BUILD DENMARK, BUILD will update the Neighbourhood Atlas with new neighbourhoods and new data and also delve deeper into detailed migration patterns based on the needs of use-cases in the Urban Insights Data Lab. We anticipate that the new data will be available in Q4 2024. Until then, we look forward to the collaboration and insights it will bring. We invite you to hear more and meet the great people behind this fantastic data source and solution at our final event on: 📆October 24th   ⏱️14:00-17:00 📍Axelborg, Vesterbrogade 4, 1609 Kbh V You can sign up for free here: https://lnkd.in/djghmDQi.. #urbandevelopment #data #smartcity #datacollaborative #smartcities

RESULTS & AND NEXT STEPS On October 24th, 14:00-17:00, Urban Insights Data Lab will showcase the many results that have come out of the project over the past two years at an event hosted by 3Business Denmark at Axelborg in central Copenhagen. In the course of the project, Urban Insights has gathered many stakeholders from the eco-system for urban development in order to pinpoint the needs for data in urban development. New data products have been developed that can be used for urban development projects across the public and private sectors and across different topics, such as green cities, healthy cities and livable cities.

The collaboration between municipalities, private sector case-owners, data providers and others has resulted in new insights – as well as new data offers tailored for urban development. At this transition event, Urban Insights Data Lab will also present the model for a data collaborative for urban development and tell you what the project is about to transition into. Urban Insights Data Lab and 3Business look forward to presenting the ground-breaking results to you. You can get your ticket for free on Eventbrite: https://lnkd.in/djghmDQi..

SCOPING THE NEXT PHASE OF URBAN INSIGHTS In the second phase of the project, we want to help #danishmunicipalities work on concrete issues, they experience in their cities, using #data as a tool for #collaboration with multiple #stakeholders. WHY does data matter in urban transformation? 📈Being able to collect different types of #data about an area, gives #municipalities more solid arguments for #transformation. 🥊It also easier to onboard #citizens, #politicians, #localbusinesses, in the needed #tranformation, when there's strong data-driven arguments backing it up. ✏️better #knowledge about an area under transformation, allows #urbanplanners to design more precise #interventions. 🤝Lastly, #foundations and #investors are increasingly requiring #impact #measurement and #documentation, when they decide to finance and support #urbandevelopment projects.   We are developing a model for the #datacollaborative enabling all of the above. We look forward to showing you the results and present the next phase of the project.   #data #smartcities #urbandevelopment #innovation

LIVABLE CITIES - BELONGING AND COMMUNITY The takeaways from our last thematic workshop are now ready for you to enjoy and ponder on. Thank you everyone who has participated in our workshops. Your insights are helping us develop our model for Danmark’s first data collective for urban development. We are looking forward to presenting our preliminary findings in May.  Watch this space - we will soon announce the date! #data #smartcities #urbandevelopment #innovation #sustainability WE BUILD DENMARK

TAKEAWAYS ABOUT CLIMATE AND BIODIVERSITY Now they are here: some of the takeaways from the thematic workshop on climate and biodiversity. Thank you all who took part. Your insights are invaluable in the creation of a model for a data collaborative. Browse through the takeaways and please leave comments if you have things to add. #data #smartcities #urbandevelopment #climate #biodiversity WE BUILD DENMARK

THANK YOU to all who took part in yesterday's thematic workshop on creating livable cities. Your engagement and input is exceedingly valuable in the process of creating a viable model for a data collaborative for urban development. Particular thanks goes to Rasmus Højmose Adser fra 3Insights and Astrid Sletten Rybner from VOLCANO for their presentations of what data can tell us about people's movements and attitudes in a particular neighbourhood and how this information can help create livable cities. #smartcities #data #urbandevelopment #communities #belonging

URBAN INSIGHTS AT AEC HACKATHON Over the weekend, Urban Insights presented a challenge at the AEC Hackathon held in BLOXHUB, Copenhagen. The challenge was: * How do we create new insights for sustainable urban development by using and combining new data sources? * How can it be visualized? * Can we find new patterns by combining data? Team Urban Hackers created a very useful prototype where a map shows movements of people and various segmentations can be applied. They also gave us great feedback that we can use in the further development of a good model for a data collaborative. A huge THANK YOU to Magnus Poppe Wang, Anna Ullersted Rasmussen, Thomas Hvidberg Dyhr, Nihit Borpujari, Haya Termanini and Martin Johansen for your dedicated work, great insights and useful perspectives! #urbandevelopment #aechackathon #data #smartcities
