The re-use of the open data of the city platform and the municipal geographic information system
has facilitated the development of a scorecard of the state of the city in real time, called “Valencia
Al Minut”.

The city platform has made it possible to make a Transparency and Open Data portal available to
citizens and companies in which more than 130 data sets are published in 800 different formats,
accessible through the web or APIs and CKAN openings for third parties.

The AppValencia, connected to the city platform, integrates all the information related to the city
and facilitates the completion of administrative procedures.

During the COVID-19 crisis, a new municipal website was developed and published through
15
which citizens can receive information on any issue related to the pandemic.

The “Impulso VLCi” initiative, which includes 17 projects – some of which are already operational
– will provide the city with new services such as real-time monitoring of the occupancy of parking
spaces with reduced mobility (PRM), loading and unloading zones and taxi stands, and will also
monitor the real-time filling of containers, the intelligent management of public lighting, the
deployment of environmental stations in the city’s EMT bus fleet, the deployment of noise sensors in
problem areas, fast-charging stations for electric vehicles with their respective occupancy sensors,
and regulated parking management.

The “Connecta VLCi” proposal also includes the deployment of sensors and actuators to monitor
and control 194 municipal management buildings and the development of new services for citizens
such as a dynamic content display system for museums, a platform for environmental awareness
for the educational community and an app for the reservation of sports facilities. It also considers
the connection of the city platform with systems of other public-private entities (e.g., ADIF, AENA)
that facilitate the exchange of information of mutual interest.
