About OpenCity

OpenCity is an Urban Data Portal - A collaboration between Oorvani Foundation and DataMeet.

Problem Statment

To compute livability index of cities at neighbourhood level. Refer to wiki for more details

Data Points scoped for current sprint

• how green is the neighborhood? (trees and lakes availability)
• Access to parks & playgrounds
• Polling stations
• Distance to nearest police stations
• Civic Engagements (Voter %)
• Metro stations
• BMTC bus stations

Volunteering Opportunities

Data Engineering

• To Scrape/collect the data from sources like
  • OpenStreetMap
  • Indian Data Portal (data.gov.in)
  • BMTC
  • OpenBudgetsIndia
  • OpenAQ
• Collate multiple data sources
• Data Cleaning
• Map data points to wards of Bengaluru
• Model and setup Data Pipeline that could scrap, collate, clean and map all the data sources on a timely manner

Design

• Data Design
  • See how effectively various indicators can be packed for end users
• Visual Design and Data Visualization
  • To model and implement an interface for various stakeholders (Citizen, Government officials, Journalists etc..) to select, prioritize and visualize indicators.

Data Science

• Data Analysis

  • Assess various datasets scraped and standradize the indicators.

• Model data points to measurable indicators

  • Reachability
    • Create a model a way to compute rechability of various wards based on various transport data points
  • Civic participatiion
    • Create a model to calculate citizen participation basedon various data points (Complaints raised in platforms like Sahay, ICMCetc.. voter turnout in electins etc..)
  • Environment
    • Create a model to compute green cover of areas bases on trees, parks, air pollution, water pollution etc...
  • Safety
    • Create a model to calulate the safety of an area based on data points like street light cover, police stations etc...

• Model Livability index

  • Given all the datapoints, model a way to compute livability index at ward level of a particular city (Bengaluru)
