Background

Background

The City of Helsinki has large quantities of data and several data sources that currently are not being actively used by some of the target groups that would most benefit from them. For example, the Helsinki Service Map offers information on public service locations in the capital region. This information has been made accessible, but usage is still relatively low.


Challenge

The City of Helsinki is looking for solutions that enable and encourage digitally hard-to-reach citizens to access and utilise data available through Helsinki Service Map. These solutions can be targeted at, for example, increasing residents’ mobility, reducing fears about unknown locations, or lighting up their curiosity towards existing but unused services.


The City of Helsinki hosts up to two pilots within the Helsinki Service Map Team. For additional information, visit Service Map at GitHub and Traffic and Mobility Options test environment.
