This document discusses municipality data hubs and urban data platforms. It notes that municipalities are mostly in charge of owning and operating these platforms. The platforms bring together data from various sources like citizens, companies, government, and sensors. They aim to address issues like economic growth, public health, and more. While many envision supporting functions like apps and marketplaces, most platforms currently focus on basic data sharing. Significant potential remains to be unlocked through further development.
