What
is
it?
• dataDublin
is
an
exci<ng
new
concept
centred
on
the
idea
of
building
a
real-­‐0me,
dynamic,
digital
representa0on
of
Dublin
City.
• the
objec<ve
is
to
provide
a
digital
plaPorm
where
all
databases
&
data
streams
rela<ng
to
city
infrastructure,
environment
&
human
interac0ons
occurring
across
the
city
such
as
travel,
communica<on,
energy
&
water
consump<on
can
be
captured
in
real-­‐<me
and
made
accessible
to
a
wider
audience
to
help
everyday
decision-­‐making.
• an
online
portal
will
provide
access
to
both
data
producers
and
end-­‐user
of
informa<on
•
experimental
innova0on
plaPorm
to
facilitate
commercial
opportuni0es
&
crea0on
of
new
enterprise
by
private
industry
&
entrepreneurs
Why
do
it?
Dublin
is
a
typical
modern
day
city,
sharing
the
same
challenges
and
pressures
as
other
ci<es
across
the
globe
to
ensure
cleaner
environments,
provide
beNer
services
and
promote
the
city
and
region
as
a
vibrant
&
affordable
place
to
work
and
live.
