Description

Short description Promoting the use of open data for utility companies to better manage the assets of the smart city as well as disseminating the culture of data in secondary schools. General objective Systematize open data regarding the urban fabric (public spaces, roads, elements of the carriageways, etc.) and the assets of the smart city (smart lampposts, EV charging stations, smart drinking fountains, Wi-Fi, etc.) together with the city’s public companies involved in city mobility and the local professionals working in the various sectors (construction, environment, etc.). Let students acquire the skills needed to make the best use of easily accessible technologies and public data to carry out their work or get to know the city better. Current situation The City of Florence was among the first municipalities in Italy to have published their open data, creating a system of internal skills, open source technologies, relations with technical offices and awareness. As a result of this, the community of citizens was able to exploit this asset as an environment for learning and disseminating new digital skills. To ensure the availability of data of greater interest, the municipality signed a memorandum of understanding - “Firenze Digitale” - with all the city’s public companies, which establishes the principle of sharing digital assets in the city (digital identity, e-payments, data, online services, public Wi-Fi, etc.). Expected results This action is aimed at enhancing the stock of information made available to the city and to users, making offices aware of the importance of data quality as well as engaging the city’s professionals in using public data and contributing to their continuous improvement. Another expected result is organizing a pilot project to train the students of at least one secondary school in school year 2016/2017. The course will be about the usefulness of open data, the use of ETS and GIS open source technologies for data supply chain management. This process will also lead to the identification of at least 5 additional types of strategic datasets for the city.
