Open-source tool offers new approach to urban data collection
Original: Rethinking smart cities: An open-source tool for urban data collection
Researchers have introduced an open-source tool designed to change how cities collect urban data, offering an alternative to proprietary smart-city platforms. The tool aims to make urban data gathering more transparent and accessible, letting cities and communities gather information about traffic, infrastructure and public spaces without reliance on closed commercial systems. It is being discussed as part of a wider debate over who controls smart-city technology and data.
Why now: Growing debate over transparency and public control in smart-city technology has put open-source alternatives in the spotlight.
