Why produce a Dublin Dashboard?
• So that the following kinds of questions can be easily answered via one site:• How well is Dublin performing?• What’s happening in the city right now?• Where are the nearest facilities to me?• What are the patterns of population, employment,
crime, housing, etc in the city?• What are the future development plans?• How do I report issues about the city?• How can I freely access data about the city?
Logic & principles
• Provide practical, useful, accessible city intelligence to public, government and companies that aids everyday decision making, evidence-informed debate, and policy formulation
• Pull together data about all aspects of the city – including real-time info -- from as many sources as possible (e.g., DCC, Dublinked, CSO, Eurostat, govt depts)
• Selected data that are: • systematic and continuous in operation and coverage• timely and traceable over time
• Display the data through an analytical dashboard that uses interactive data visualisations that require no a priori knowledge to use
• Produce as a platform that leverages existing resources and encourages new app development. The data used is open for others to use and re-work.
• How’s Dublin Doing?• Dublin Indicators and benchmarking
tools• Dublin Real-Time
• Real-time data from sensors across Dublin
• Dublin Mapped• Detailed Census maps for 2006 &
2011 Census, crime, live register• Dublin Planning
• Zoning and planning permissions• Dublin Near To Me
• Maps of location and nearness to public services, area profiles
• Dublin Housing• Maps of housing, house prices and
commuting patterns• Dublin Reporting
• FixMyStreet, CityWatch, FixMyArea• Dublin Data Stores
• Access to all data used in the dashboard
• Dublin Social (in progress)• Maps of social media activity
• Dublin Modelled (in progress)• Modelling and scenario tools
• Dublin Apps (in progress)• Directory of apps relevant to Dublin
• Have Your Say (in progress)• Feedback from users
Partnership & Funding
• The Dublin Dashboard has been developed by The Programmable City project and the All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO) at Maynooth University, working in partnership with Dublin City Council
• It has been funded by the European Research Council and Science Foundation Ireland
• 2 years of funding (spread over 3 years)• Started November 2013
The Programmable City project and All-Island Research Observatory
The Programmable City
• A European Research Council (ERC: €2.3m) and Science Foundation of Ireland (SFI: €200k) funded• SH3: Environment and Society • Team of 11 researchers• 1 PI; 5 postdocs; 5 PhD students
• Key themes: smart cities, software, ubiquitous computing, locative media, big and open data
• Primary site: Dublin; Secondary site: Boston • 5 years (started June 2013)
Objectives of Programmable City Project
How is the city translated into software and data? How do software and data reshape the city?

Sub-Projects
Translation: City into code and data
Transduction: Code and data reshapes city
Understanding the city(Knowledge)
How are digital data generated and processed about cities and their citizens? Tracey (PDR)
How does software drive public policy development and implementation? Bob (PhD) / Aoife (PhD)
Managing the city(Governance)
How are discourses and practices of city governance translated into code? Sophia (PDR)
How is software used to regulate and govern city life? Jim (PhD)
Working in the city(Production)
How is the geography and political economy of software production organised? Alan (PhD)
How does software alter the form and nature of work? Leighton (PDR)
Inhabiting the city(Everyday Life)
How is software discursively produced and legitimated by vested interests? Darach (PhD)
To what extent does software change how places function and how people behave? (Sung-Yueh, PDR)

All-Island Research Observatory
• Spatial data portal and consultancy specializing in evidence-based planning
• Been operating since 2005 (initially as CBRRO)• Interactive mapping & graphing modules both
North/South
Next steps
Next steps
• The Dashboard is extensive, but far from finished• It is an on-going project. Working on:• adding more real-time data• extending indicator/benchmarking data and mapping modules• opening up more datasets and encouraging new data
generation, more geo-referencing of data, and better ways to share data (APIs, machine-readable)
• adding new modules: city snapshot, social media, modelling (needs investment), links to city apps
• translating for mobile platforms (e.g. tablet/smartphone apps)• encouraging others to leverage data and add new apps
• We’re interested in working with any interested parties to help develop Dashboard further or to implement it for different places
