Global City Teams Challenge Supercluster Workshop on City Platform Insights

During this two-day event, participants came with a list of problems and questions associated with smart city data and the city platform that was needed to manage it. Additionally, inter and intra-departmental data management issues were also discussed to develop cross-sector understanding of the data platform required to make inter-departmental decisions in a near real-time, macro-city management basis.

The format for the event was based on small breakout groups, facilitated by a table leader. Each table compromised of various public and private sector participants and each session had a specific focus for discussion. These focus areas included:

• Analyzing your cities challenges (the problems)
• Operationalizing the data (use cases)
• Essentials for success
• Crossing Silos
• Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s)
• Financing and managing for the future
