Innovative uses of data for better urban planning
This panel will discuss uses of data for planning in cities and informal settlements, in different contexts, with examples from the real operational experience of cities. Cities worldwide are striving to organize urban processes more efficiently and sustainably through the digital collection, processing, and analysis of data and urban governance has become increasingly dependent on flows of data, information, and the knowledge derived from them.
