PROGRAMMES & PROJECTS

Sofia’s pilot project is published on the European Commission’s PolicyCLOUD Program Website


Sofia team is working on a pilot for the use of the European cloud infrastructure by the public administration and the pilot project for Sofia is already on the European Commission’s PolicyCLOUD program website. 

With the participation in the project, Sofia Municipality will be able to perform simulations, tests and analysis of potential policies, using different categories of data from existing sources (the Call Sofia call centre for citizens’ signals) and from new open data sets of the EU, which will be accessible to Sofia and the other 15 European cities in PolicyCLOUD.

The project features the development of a tool for analysis of large data sets and visualisation of different scenarios, which will allow assessment of policies and activities related to urban management case studies such as:

☑ road infrastructure, street lighting, road signs, parking

☑ waste management

☑ cleanliness of public spaces, ecology, green systems, playgrounds

☑ violations of public order and others

The analysis of the territorial distribution of the signals by category will enable the municipal administration to identify problems and trends in the urban environment. The analysis will also facilitate the monitoring and control of the services under review, enabling preventive action to identify potential risks and to guide decision makers to adjust the current policies or adopt new ones, as well as to use the budget and public resources effectively and efficiently.

More about Sofia’s participation in the EU Programme can be found here.

A description of Sofia’s project for PolicyCLOUD is available on the initiative’s website here.
