Mapping Climate Vulnerability with Open Data: A Dashboard for Place-Based Action
No full textOur understanding of climate change has been influenced by data like few other global phenomena. The scientific data on temperature, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, sea-level rise and global warming forms the evidence base for global climate agreements. Global scientific consensus on anthropogenic climate change and the global policies’ emphasis on Open Data to meet climate goals have motivated the world to implement Open Data policies. However, the existing Open Data initiatives for climate action largely focus on continental regions and nation states rather than urban areas. A new paradigm of city-level Open Data initiatives is needed to ensure that societies can develop place-based actions to moderate climate change. This is because global climate change has drastic consequences for cities. In this chapter, we review the relevance of Open Data in urban vulnerability management and empowering cities as ‘centres of action’. We aim to unpack this relationship through the heat vulnerability index platform that we have developed using accessible public data. We use Sydney’s vulnerability to heat waves as a case study to demonstrate the index and its function as a powerful adaptation planning support tool.Scott Hawken, Komali Yenneti, and Carole Bodili

Safer Cities for Women: Global and Local Innovations with Open Data and Civic Technology
Get PDFThis chapter proposes a cyclic process for improving urban safety for women using Open Data together with civic technologies such as the unique ‘SafetiPin’ app and a purpose-built city dashboard. Safety is a difficult performance criterion to measure at the scale of the local neighbourhood and street. Much existing data is at the metropolitan scale rather than fine-grained local scales. Further, the data is often gender biased and underestimates the scale of crimes such as sexual harassment. This chapter examines the challenges involved in localising global approaches to urban safety with reference to a case study in Bogota. Statistical analysis and a city dashboard, using Open Data and open source technology, are developed to provide insights into the links between different urban metrics and gender balance in Bogota
