Projects of Urban Intelligence

The relationship between population happiness and well-being and demographic and contextual factors has been widely studied in recent years, proving to be an essential tool for shaping effective public policies. In this context, the aim of this project was to develop a comprehensive methodology to calculate a Happiness Indicator specific to the Estrela Parish Council in Lisbon, integrating both objective data and subjective perceptions collected through a population survey.

An initiative of the Lisbon Urban Management and Intelligence Center, part of the Lisbon City Council. Its goal is to use data generated in the city to develop analytical solutions that address real-world problems and improve services for residents, workers, and visitors.

The Bairros Comerciais Digitais measure aims to promote the digitalization of the economy, either through the technological adoption by economic operators and the digital transformation of their business models, or through raising awareness and building the skills of workers and entrepreneurs.

Integrated in the concept of smart city, the Municipality of Oeiras, intends to implement a descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive action strategy, which can substantiate decision-making in analytical evidence, duly updated, that corresponds to the constant challenge, as a model capable of creating an enabling environment for effective and efficient governance; that promotes the active participation of citizens; that achieves sustainable urban development with economic, social and environmental benefits.

The project aims to build the foundations to transform Almada into a circular city in 2030, adding intelligence and sustainability, and simultaneously accelerating its decarbonization process.

Taking into account the structuring role of mobility in the construction of smart and sustainable cities, able to ensure quality of life and well-being to people and promote economic development, in parallel with the imperative to meet the assumed decarbonization goals, where transport in Lisbon represents 50% of emissions, it is important to adopt a culture of planning and management based on fact and able to induce a new paradigm of data-driven public policies.

The Municipality of Lisbon, ISEL and NOVA IMS intend to cooperate mutually with a view to the implementation, development and promotion of a partnership called “Dados ao Serviço de Lisboa”, which aims to join interests, where the Municipality of Lisbon makes available the infrastructures to support information and communication, as well as the data to improve their management practices, ISEL and NOVA IMS investigate and teach the best methodologies in the processes of design and maintenance of networks and information, communication and management systems. data, data exploration and knowledge discovery in a vision of the city as a platform in a real context, such as the city of Lisbon.

The project aims to develop solutions for the urban ecosystem, seeking to improve the quality of life of citizens in the urban environment, making cities more intelligent and sustainable, in the areas of infrastructure, privacy, security, mobility, governance and energy.

The C-Tech project aims to investigate, develop and validate at a pilot scale a digital platform of smart cities for urban modeling and planning, based on a three-dimensional representation of the city and its combination with several data from different sources (such as climate, energy and water consumption, mobility and above all, user behavior determined by the use of mobile phones), will allow to simulate different scenarios of energy efficiency of buildings, creation of green structures and energy efficiency of urban mobility, empowering local authorities to identify and effectively address specific environmental issues in order to reduce their carbon footprint.
