Project description
City-level data for European Green Deal actions
It is possible to make city-level environmental and climate data available to everyone based on FAIR principles, which emphasise machine actionability. The EU-funded USAGE project will provide the necessary solutions. It will support implementation of the European strategy for data and various European Green Deal priority actions at city and town level by providing innovative governance mechanisms, consolidated arrangements, AI-based tools and data analytics to share, access and use city-level data from earth Observation, Internet of things, and authoritative and crowd sources, drawing from standards for data and service interoperability. The project will validate the solutions in four pilot areas in four countries and focus on the reusability of the solutions in other urban areas.
Objective
USAGE (Urban Data Space for Green Deal) aims to provide solutions and mechanisms for making city-level environmental and climate data available to everyone based on FAIR principles. USAGE will support the implementation of the European strategy for data and various European Green Deal priority actions at the level where climate change is mostly felt: cities and towns.
USAGE will provide innovative governance mechanisms, consolidated arrangements, AI-based tools and data analytics to share, access and use city-level data from Earth Observation (EO), Internet of Things (IoT), authoritative and crowd sources, leveraging on standards for data and service interoperability.
USAGE wants to become a decentralized infrastructure for trustworthy data collection, processing and exchange based on commonly agreed principles, facilitating the combination of heterogeneous data for policy analysis.
USAGE will validate its solutions in four diverse pilot areas located in four different countries, focusing also on the reusability of the solutions in other urban areas.
The consortium consists of 11 interdisciplinary partners from 5 European countries and, within the 3 years of activities, will also realize a long-term sustainability and growth strategy plan of project solutions.
