Introduction to field of action 1 "Digital infrastructure and data policy"
At its core, digitalization is always the generation, storage, processing and use of digital data. It is constantly being generated and can be used multiple times and simultaneously. This is why there is no reason to treat it like private property. It is only through their use and the corresponding interaction by and with urban society that they become something useful for people: KNOWLEDGE, services and opportunities.
Data can also be of enormous value to a municipal community - i.e. of great benefit to the city and its people. Municipal and urban data is not a finite resource for us! At the same time, urban data offers great opportunities for the city association to improve its own work and make public space and its infrastructure more usable for people.
What does the Smart City project want to achieve in field of action 1?
We want to create an urban data space in which the potential of our data can be exploited. The municipality's full control over data as an aspect of digital sovereignty must be secured. This requires a suitable digital infrastructure. Citizens must be able to rely on the data protection and data security of their personal data managed by the municipality. At the same time, they should have an active and co-determining role in shaping the city's data policy and specific use cases and must be involved accordingly by the city. This creates a "data space" in the broadest sense.
