Harnessing Citizen Data for Smarter Urban Development

Join us for a dynamic roundtable discussion on harnessing citizen data and engagement to drive intelligent, resident-centered urban development.

In today’s era of data abundance, there lies a wealth of opportunities to extract valuable insights into the behaviors and preferences of our city’s residents. However, we must approach this effort with utmost care, prioritizing ethical considerations and ensuring equity for all.

Together, we will delve into the challenges of realizing citizen-generated data’s full potential. Building trust between state and non-state actors is paramount, ensuring the reliability and sustainability of data gathered by non-state entities.

We have invited Peter Bjørn Larsen, Director of Smart City Insights, to kickstart the dialogue. He will set the stage for a constructive exchange of ideas and discuss the value of using external private sector data in urban development in a wide stakeholder context and what happens if we don’t.
