Data-based innovation
The Urban Data Hub is working on an easily accessible range of urban data that companies, public administration, science and research and urban society can access in order to develop urban applications on this basis.
Examples:

• Real-time data (e.g. traffic situation, public transport, environmental measurements)
• 3D city model as a digital twin of the city's buildings
• New forms of data analysis (machine learning, AI ...)
• Intelligent city management

It offers support with the data integration and evaluation of the data so that they can be used as an information, planning and control instrument for administration, business, citizens or visitors to Hamburg.
Examples:

• Active City Map - Detailed overview of sports facilities
• Overview of possible public participation formats in the city
• Visualization of the use of the Urban Data Platform Hamburg
• Citizen engagement

Only citizens are producers and consumers of urban data. You can incorporate your user-generated (so-called “crowd-sourced”) data into interactive applications.
Examples:

• User-generated (crowd-sourced) data on cycle path usage
• Melde-Michel and the connection to other eGovernment applications
• Measurement of air quality
• Data governance

Companies, public administration, science and research as well as urban societies are available for the definition and development of data standards and formats.
Examples:

• Develop technical + organizational specifications for handling data
• Implement specifications within the framework of advice and project participation
