[PROJECT], [RESEARCH] 

Currently, city administration uses different systems, which work independently of each other to fulfil specialized tasks. Therefore, the full and overall evaluation of complex issues, as well as the fast implementation of measures, are naturally tortuous, redundant and personnel-intensive processes of coordination and data collection. The extensive interlinking of systems requires an appropriate data infrastructure to effectively introduce digital technology in a modern city. In a smart city, without the linking of data through an urban platform, the services and applications cannot be implemented effectively.

The Urban Data Hub is an ongoing co-operation project between the CityScienceLab and the LGV which, as a competence centre, focuses on the development of an Urban Platform as a central data hub for Hamburg. Through the integration and interlinking of standardized data and web services, it provides gathered urban data, thereby ensuring that diverse user groups benefit from it. 

Within the framework of this project, the task of the CityScienceLab concentrates on scientific monitoring, including the investigation of development needs and the prototypical realization of City-Cockpits.
