Open Data has contributed a lot to analyse and support urban processes. In many cities, it has led to the collaboration between different groups using data to develop new services and better monitoring of urban developments. For many urban issues, we need more than open data. New forms of public-private data partnerships are necessary to analyse complex issues such as climate change mitigation, energy management, and transport. This webinar will introduce an ongoing data-sharing programme on sustainable mobility in Hong Kong.
