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

[Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX)]

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:

Reports by the Helsinki City Planning Department
HELSINKI CITY PLAN

[excerpts]
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.

Hi GeoForAll Urban Science/City Analytics colleagues:

As some of you know, I continue to work on a grant proposal to move our group forward. I ultimately came to the idea of 'Open Geographical Science for Urban Vulnerability Management.' The vulnerability is driven by the dual future threats of population growth and climate change adaptation.

A favor:

I'm trying to understand what kinds of cities are represented in our 'Smart City' GeoForAll working group. Would you please go to the bottom of our wiki page [1] and add and entry for you:

- your name
- the nearest city to your lab
- potential key climate change threats to that city (e.g., coastal storm surge, hurricanes, inland lack of water, heat islands, etc.)
- The lat/long of your lab or city (you can copy that from [2] probably).

Ultimately, I hope to make a map figure of the labs/cities of our initial collaboration network. If anyone could easily make that figure for me, let me know!

Thanks in advance,

Charlie
