[Ica-osgeo-labs] [GeoForAll-UrbanScience] A quick favor -- information on the city your GeoForAll lab is near

[Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX)]

This is a pretty good start by the City of Springfield (home to the Simpsons!) on the why, what and how!

Charlie,

Over the next 3 days I’ll be away from my desk in ITIL training (in PDX) and able to address the mundane.  Please check in to discuss.  The excellent work from Patrick’s team is exactly what’s needed to move ‘the ship’ in the right direction.  Please reach out.

Thank you for your time,
Brandt

Charlie,
We couldn’t get a better definition of the goal and the kind of thinking needed 
to achieve a SmartCity app than the Helsinki city plan ^though^ it does ‘not’ deal with 
the mundane infrastructure such as water, sewer, power and the like. . . 
1. aerial imagery
2. elevation data
3. place names
4. buildings
5. utilities
6. parks
7. wetlands
8. creeks
9. streams
10. rivers
11. habitats for native and invasive species
12. rights of way
13. street systems
14. storm drainage
15. water distribution systems
16. power distribution systems
17. waste water systems
18. parcel information
19. building permits
20. construction zones, etc.

This begins the essential mundane:

HELSINKI CITY PLAN

[excerpt]
First and foremost, Helsinki is a city with a human scale. 
Urban spaces will be designed on terms that suit pedestrians, not vehicular traffic. In the future, fun cities that are pleasant to live in. According to the attractive living theme, Helsinki is a socially balanced, dense and functionally versatile city, in which homes, workplaces, schools and services are close to one another and can be accessed easily. All everyday services are within walking or bicycling distance. A wider range of services can be reached in little time by public transport.
