Data for Cities - A Pragmatic Approach | This deliverable will include Smart Dubai's approach to data management as a pragmatic case. It will include conducting e-meetings (webinars) to explain among others the Dubai Data Law, Dubai Data Initiative, open data approach taken by Smart Dubai and also Decentralized Data Marketplace currently being implemented in Dubai. It will provide insights and lessons learnt from a pragmatic implementation perspective. The potential audience can be aspiring cities who intend to undertake data initiatives in their own contexts.

Global City Solutions Marketplace
| The Global Digital Marketplace has been set up to support cities, businesses and finance instituions to connect for designing and developing projects after completion of KPI evaluation. The U4SSC IP team is working to support all stakeholders in building this bridge. Through the marketplace, cities have a unique opportunity to engage with experts and solution providers to gain a better understanding of adequate solutions and financing opportunities. Cities promote projects through the platform as an open invitation for local and international providers to submit proposals for implementation. The program experts review and analyse project viability and develop project financing solutions through the City Investment Project Facility in support of the Digital Investment Marketplace.

Global City Simulation Tool
| Partnering with the Offshore Simulator Centre/Augment City in Norway, OiER is working on providing a new cutting-edge simulation technology to cities. OSC has developed software, Augmented Reality (AR) and predictive programs for simulators, which can be used to set up digital graphical twins of cities. The Global City Simulation Tool integrates data from all urban areas and sectors to offer a holistic visual understanding of city planning, integration of technologies and effects of decision-making.
By producing a Digital Twin City, simulations are able to test outcome scenarios before implementing them in real-life. It also provides real-time analysis to current city operations and activities. Trough visualisation and simulation, decision makers, stakeholders and citizens will have a tool for easier understanding the complex landscape of current situations, trends, alternatives and consequences before decisions are taken.

National U4SSC Programme Norway | The first national
U4SSC project, taking place in Norway, was announced during Green Standards
Week 2019. This comprehensive five year project supports the realization of the
Sustainable Development Goals in Norway, with a specific focus on goal 11:
“Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and
sustainable”. The U4SSC KPIs are used to evaluate and monitor progress across
multiple cities and regions in Norway, affording Norway a networked approach to
sustainable development where findings from the KPI evaluations are used to
identify solutions that correspond to opportunities shared across cities. By
benchmarking the cities using the same standard the project explores how actors,
activities and resources can be organised in order to accelerate the cities’
transition to smarter and more sustainable societies. Increasing both the speed
and accuracy of the transition represents an important contribution to other
cities implementing the Sustainable Development Goals.

City SDG Intelligence Tool
| News and social media represent important interfaces to decision makers in cities, and can help to identify most discussed topics in a city as well as to understand the awareness amongst the population in relation to the SDGs. The Web intelligence platform of webLyzard identifies opinion leaders and visualizes emerging trends across such online channels. It supports decision makers by identifying relevance and sentiment of user-generated content. To compute the indicators, webLyzard builds multilingual content repositories from public online sources. It then uses semantic technologies and opinion mining techniques to process the collected data and extract actionable knowledge from these repositories. The Web intelligence tools of the dashboard provide a real-time account of topics that target audiences associate with the cities products and services. Built on 15 years of R&D into semantic technologies for Web intelligence and visual analytics applications, webLyzard is an Austrian SME founded in 2008.
