Smart Citizen - Sense Making - Óscar González, Fablab Barcelona Alex Gluhak
Talk at Urban Data Talks event #3. Fab Labs Barcelona's journey from Smart Cities to Smart Citizens. Tools and methodologies to empower smarter citizens
The digital divide and civic tech (TICTec 2016, Helen Milner)Helen Milner
Civic tech can't make the impact it needs to if those working in the sector don't understand that more than half of the world's population doesn't use the internet. Blending my knowledge of digital exclusion, digital inclusion and the digital divide, and my time on the Speaker's Commission for Digital Democracy, this speech asks some difficult questions about how we can work in partnership to make real impact for the people who need better democracies and better lives.

Big data and smart cities: Key data issuesrobkitchin
This presentation was delivered at the first meeting of the Irish Government Data Forum, July 14th 2015. It was designed to provide an overview of key data issues related to smart cities in order to set the scene for a discussion about the kinds of data issues the forum might explore across a range of domains.
It’s the age of getting smart or smarter. Technology has been seeping into every sphere of our lives in the past few years. After our phones and televisions have gotten smarter, it’s time to envisage our cities to become smarter. Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT) have a significant role to play in making our lives simpler by inter-connecting our scattered digital footprints to create an efficient and cohesive habitable unit for us. While the idea of a smart city has been floating around for some time now, its successful implementation needs to counter and conquer many roadblocks.

Empowering the Data Analytics Ecosystem: A Laser Focus on Value
The data analytics ecosystem thrives when every component functions at its peak, unlocking the true potential of data. Here's a laser focus on key areas for an empowered ecosystem:
1. Democratize Access, Not Data:
Granular Access Controls: Provide users with self-service tools tailored to their specific needs, preventing data overload and misuse.
Data Catalogs: Implement robust data catalogs for easy discovery and understanding of available data sources.
2. Foster Collaboration with Clear Roles:
Data Mesh Architecture: Break down data silos by creating a distributed data ownership model with clear ownership and responsibilities.
Collaborative Workspaces: Utilize interactive platforms where data scientists, analysts, and domain experts can work seamlessly together.
3. Leverage Advanced Analytics Strategically:
AI-powered Automation: Automate repetitive tasks like data cleaning and feature engineering, freeing up data talent for higher-level analysis.
Right-Tool Selection: Strategically choose the most effective advanced analytics techniques (e.g., AI, ML) based on specific business problems.
4. Prioritize Data Quality with Automation:
Automated Data Validation: Implement automated data quality checks to identify and rectify errors at the source, minimizing downstream issues.
Data Lineage Tracking: Track the flow of data throughout the ecosystem, ensuring transparency and facilitating root cause analysis for errors.
5. Cultivate a Data-Driven Mindset:
Metrics-Driven Performance Management: Align KPIs and performance metrics with data-driven insights to ensure actionable decision making.
Data Storytelling Workshops: Equip stakeholders with the skills to translate complex data findings into compelling narratives that drive action.
Benefits of a Precise Ecosystem:
Sharpened Focus: Precise access and clear roles ensure everyone works with the most relevant data, maximizing efficiency.
Actionable Insights: Strategic analytics and automated quality checks lead to more reliable and actionable data insights.
Continuous Improvement: Data-driven performance management fosters a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
Sustainable Growth: Empowered by data, organizations can make informed decisions to drive sustainable growth and innovation.
By focusing on these precise actions, organizations can create an empowered data analytics ecosystem that delivers real value by driving data-driven decisions and maximizing the return on their data investment.

14. MyWay street sensors
Covering 100+ streets in
Reading town centre and
student housing areas
Gathering info such as:
• People movement
• Light levels
• Types of noises
• Others…
Sending data over the
Smart Berkshire LoRaWAN
network
18. User feedback
“I felt more
sure and safe”
“I would
have loved
this in my
first year”

MyWay
• Going live at University of Reading this year
• Refine MyWay app - user feedback and one major new feature
• Offering MyWay to other university towns and cities
Other opportunities
• Explore other uses of street sensor data for towns and cities
• Further development of our multi-sensor platform
20. Until we have a “creepy man”
sensor…
1. Believe women
2. Don’t stare – it’s really threatening
3. Keep your comments to yourself
4. Don’t rush up behind women – cross the road
5. Speak out when friends or colleagues are being dicks
21. Thank you. Any questions?
Thank you. Any questions?
Privacy? Can the public use MyWay? Could we use the data for..?
