Open-source tool reshapes smart city data collection
Original: Rethinking smart cities: An open-source tool for urban data collection
Researchers have developed an open-source tool for collecting urban data, offering cities an alternative to proprietary smart-city platforms. The tool lets municipalities gather and analyse information about streets, traffic and public spaces without relying on closed commercial systems. Coverage highlights how open approaches could make smart-city projects cheaper, more transparent and more adaptable to local needs, prompting debate among urban planners and technologists.
Why now: Growing scrutiny of proprietary smart-city vendors is driving interest in open-source alternatives for urban data collection.
