          +

          Data innovations and Artificial Intelligence have the potential to +support cities in addressing the most pressing challenges posed by +the current triple planetary emergency and its climate, ecology and +social inequality dimensions. However, solutions built upon biased or +partial data will not address the required challenges, since they may +systematically misrepresent the realities of the most vulnerable +communities. To overcome this, the talk introduces an approach +to participatory urban analytics which bridges citizen participation +and data science to address inequalities in data and society. Results +from this approach show significant social impacts in the context of +resilience to flood and landslide disasters in Latin American +disadvantaged communities (the Waterproofing Data and URBE Latam +projects) and the improvement of access to urban infrastructure and +services in informal settlements in Kenya and Nigeria (IDEAMAPS Data +Ecosystem project).
