How can private-sector data support more sustainable cities? For #WorldCitiesDay, our latest blog shows how data from @JBAConsulting, @Mapbox & @Veraset helped teams study land use in Amman, flood risks in Itahari, and neighborhood interventions in Bogotá. datapartnership.org/updates/…

Cities can connect workers to more firms, occupations, and opportunities.
But when housing and transport costs absorb the urban wage premium, density stops delivering on its promise.
Good urban planning is also jobs policy: blogs.worldbank.org/en/opend… #WBGAtlas
National averages can hide local connectivity gaps. Using @Speedtest data through the Development Data Partnership, @AfDB_Group built a platform that can weight results by where people live to help prioritize digital investment in 11 East African countries.datapartnership.org/updates/…
Where should digital investment go first in East Africa? Using @Speedtest data through the Development Data Partnership, @AfDB_Group developed a platform to identify connectivity gaps and help prioritize investment across 11 countries. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can #flood data help countries act before hazards become disasters? For #DRRDay, a new Development Data Partnership blog explores how data from @JBAConsulting supported disaster risk reduction in Rwanda, Costa Rica and Egypt. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can mobility data inform event planning? A World Bank analysis used anonymized Veraset data to identify changes in activity across Istanbul around Republic Day 2023, comparing each area’s daily activity with its pre-event pattern. datapartnership.org/updates/…
A World Bank analysis using Veraset data tracked urban activity across Istanbul around Republic Day 2023: activity rose on October 28, peaked on October 29, and returned close to baseline after October 31. Increases extended across the city. datapartnership.org/updates/…
A degree or job title does not always show the full range of a person’s skills. An @OECD study found that workers increasingly use digital platforms to show employers what they can do, beyond their education and previous jobs. datapartnership.org/updates/…
Listing skills online showcases more than degrees and jobs. Using LinkedIn data, official statistics & other sources, the @OECD found this appears to be associated with shorter periods between employment. especially for those not listing formal education. datapartnership.org/updates/…
Data can support knowledge sharing across the Global South. For #SouthSouthCooperationDay, our latest blog explores how approaches to assessing flood risk and school connectivity could inform work in other countries. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can a motorcycle ban affect emissions in Hanoi? An @ADB_HQ model using GrabMaps, Quadrant & VesselBot data estimated a 32% reduction in traffic-related PM2.5 emissions in the proposed low-emission zone. It also assessed effects on surrounding roads. datapartnership.org/updates/…
Transport restrictions may cut emissions yet shift traffic and pollution to nearby roads. An @ADB_HQ project combines GrabMaps, Quadrant & VesselBot data with transport and emissions models to help cities assess policy options before implementation.datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can #data help cities tackle #AirPollution? For #CleanAirDay, we look at three projects using data from our partners to inform action on air pollution. datapartnership.org/updates/…
An @ADB_HQ project uses @JBAConsulting’s Global Flood Maps and wealth data to help decision-makers identify communities most exposed to flooding and target support more effectively. datapartnership.org/updates/…
An @ADB_HQ project combines wealth data with @JBAConsulting’s Global Flood Maps to identify communities where high flood exposure overlaps with low wealth. datapartnership.org/updates/…
Via the Development Data Partnership, Veraset's aggreagted and anonymized smartphone data supports the World Bank's PATH model, which estimates transport demand & emissions across 4,000 cities. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can cities plan sustainable transport when mobility data is scarce? The World Bank's PATH model uses anonymized Veraset smartphone data to estimate transport demand & emissions. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can data support better decisions for sustainable urban development? In Bogotá, a World Bank project used multiple datasets, including Mapbox data, to assess the impacts of the Vital Neighborhoods Strategy and provide policy recommendations. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can data help policymakers assess urban transformation? In Bogotá, a World Bank analysis used multiple datasets, including @Mapbox data, to study the Vital Neighborhoods Strategy. It found that average speeds decreased on inner and perimeter roads. datapartnership.org/updates/…
