Role of data in urban planning and development : case city Lahti
Development of technologies has dramatically changed the way people live. Information and communication technologies (ICT) became the part of our personal lives. At the same time, these technologies affect communities, organisations and even cities – they enable new development capabilities, better-informed decisions and more effective processes. Information technologies create vast amounts of urban data, which carry insights about urban environment and infrastructure. The main objective of the research was to study the role of data in urban planning and development, what are the benefits of data application for urban planning and development, and finally, how data is applied to urban development in Lahti. The study was conducted under the abductive approach, different methods were used to achieve the results. Those include literature review, semi-structured interviews with specialists, existing data analysis. The result of the research showed that urban data is used to study urban environment, analyse processes and objects within it, apply accumulated knowledge to urban planning and development. Benefits of data application include improvements of infratructures, urban systems, safety and sustainability of urban environment and new social and economic opportunities. The case of Lahti showed that even developing cities can use data to their advantage in order to build resilient and sustainable communities.
