Informed Cities Forum 2011 IUME Jaume Fons Esteve
This document discusses the need for an integrated urban monitoring system in Europe. It outlines that current urban data is fragmented across different spatial levels, themes, and disciplines. An integrated monitoring system would allow for a more holistic picture by making better use of existing urban data sets through cooperation, data sharing, and indicator evaluation. Key stakeholders involved include the European Environment Agency, European Commission departments, national agencies, and urban networks. The goals are to improve continuity of monitoring, synchronize data collection, and leverage new technologies to provide near real-time information to inform urban policy questions around topics like urban patterns, quality of life, and urban metabolism. The outcomes would include shared methodologies, data interchange, indicator assessments, and joint reports.
