UrbanAPI - Support Tools for Urban Agile Policy Implementation
The urbanAPI project aims to support activities such as issue identification, policy analysis, consultation, decision and evaluation in urban planning and land management policy. For this purpose, a policy metamodel, a formalised vocabulary, a set of rule languages to define data integration and abstract simulation models are introduced. Furthermore, the urbanAPI approach will transpose elements of agile ICT development to the urban policy making process: Multiple activities can run in parallel, and all activities are kept synchronized. In such a process, risks are identified earlier, conflicts are understood better, and that knowledge gained in one activity can directly be used in all other activities.
On this formal basis, a special ICT toolset is developed which allows the fast development and deployment of participative policy support applications. Applications created with the urbanAPI toolset also make use of a comprehensive data integration system to make use of the vast data resources – geospatial and statistical datasets – related to planning.
