Introduction

Cisco and the city of Amsterdam announced the rollout of Urban EcoMap on Dec/1/2009, an Internet-based tool that enables cities around the world to provide smarter climate change information for their citizens. A city can use Urban EcoMap to create awareness among its residents of the impact of carbon emissions on their urban environment. It provides information on carbon emissions from transportation, energy and waste among neighborhoods, organized by district, and delivers tips on ways to reduce a resident's carbon footprint.

Reason to Be Selected

·The application is an extension of the Urban EcoMap launched in May 2009 in the city of San Francisco. The Amsterdam version of the Urban EcoMap will be progressively expanded in the upcoming year with real-time information, which might also be linked to data from other agencies.

Highlights:

·Urban EcoMap in Amsterdam will empower citizens to move from collective intelligence to collective action by providing
emissions information on a neighborhood level, organized by local and comparable common boundaries like ZIP codes and districts.

Details

·Citizens will be able to view their neighborhood data through visual displays in the areas of transportation, energy and waste. This information empowers neighborhoods to identify and take specific actions to fight climate change using approaches such as alternative-fuel vehicle ownership, recycling, and reducing household energy use.

·Citizens will then be able to make decisions to help decrease the carbon footprint of their geographic regions, their particular district, and their city. They will be also able to share their climate actions with others via social networking. Comparisons are available between Amsterdam's neighborhoods, and also enabled between the neighborhoods in Amsterdam and San Francisco.

·Urban EcoMap provides information on carbon emissions from transportation, energy and waste among neighborhoods, organized by district. As part of the Cisco® Connected Urban Development (CUD) program, the Urban EcoMap pilot is a cooperative initiative between the city of Amsterdam, Amsterdam Innovation Motor (AIM) and Cisco's Internet Business
Solutions Group (IBSG), the company's strategic global consulting arm.
