The potential of open data as a resource for driving citizen-led urban innovation
relies not only on a suitable technical infrastructure but also on the skills and
knowledge of the citizens themselves. This paper describes how a smart city project
in Milton Keynes, UK, is supporting multiple stages of citizen innovation, from ideation
through to citizen-led smart city projects. This approach encounters challenges when
engaging with citizens in identifying and implementing data-driven solutions to urban
problems. The majority of citizens have little practical experience with the types
of data sets that might be available, nor possess the appropriate skills for their
analysis and utilisation for addressing urban issues, or finding novel ways to hack
their city. We go on to describe the Urban Data School, which aims to offer a long-term
solution to this problem by providing teaching resources around urban data sets aimed
at raising the standard of data literacy amongst future generations. Lesson resources
that form part of the Urban Data School have been piloted in a primary and two secondary
schools in Milton Keynes. |
