Data for innovative, inclusive and open walking and cycling policies

Chair: Hana Sutch, founder, Go Jauntly

The session will include: 

• The role of emerging datasets from innovative sources, including citizen-sensed air pollution data

• Risks associated with new data sources, including price, lack of representative samples, 'cloud lock-in' and focus on existing behaviour rather than future potential

• The role of open source software and open data to enable citizens to participate in the decision-making process

• Promoting cleaner, greener and happier routes – building and linking predictive models
