Data at the service of health and urban sustainability

The Healthy Smart Cities data space integrates key information on health, pollution, disease prevalence, noise, temperature and access to green spaces.

By combining this data, it allows us to analyse the relationship between the urban environment and people’s health, detect needs and anticipate risks in order to prioritise actions and justify decisions, while also demonstrating the real impact of the measures taken on the quality of life of residents.

Kiwa guarantees the Data Space by validating that it complies with safety, quality and legal compliance standards.

Specifically, they are developed in accordance with the UNE 0087:2025 specification, which defines and characterises data spaces in Spain. In addition, at Kiwa we actively participate as vocal members and observers in the UNE, which allows us to ensure that our spaces are aligned with the best practices and criteria recognised in the sector.

Benefits for territories and citizens

Urban data spaces convert information into evidence for more accurate and effective action.

Healthy Smart Cities provides a comprehensive overview that allows you to identify needs in the city, prioritise actions, justify investments and measure the real impact of urban policies, thereby generating greater trust and transparency.

Sustainable urban planning

Linking data on pollution, noise and mobility to guide urban planning towards more liveable and sustainable environments.

Improvement of public health

Identify correlations between the urban environment and the prevalence of diseases in order to detect risk factors and design policies that protect public health.

Risk prevention and anticipation

It uses real-time data to anticipate heat waves, pollution levels, and prevent fires or floods, improving quality of life and promoting adaptation to climate change.

Decisions based on real data

It provides information to prioritise investments, justify decisions and assess the real impact of urban policies, increasing transparency and public confidence.

Use cases

Examples of practical application

Healthy Smart Cities already has a catalogue of use cases that show how data can transform urban planning and people’s health.

Identification and reduction of urban heat islands to anticipate health risks and improve liveability.
Sustainable and safe urban mobility in the city and its metropolitan area, linking pollution, noise and health.
Prioritised public investment plan based on the environmental, social and health impact of each area.
Adaptation to climate change by identifying areas vulnerable to flooding, fires or water shortages.

People's health depends on the health of cities.

Understand your territory. Make better decisions for those who live there.

Frequently asked questions

What type of data is integrated into this space?

The Healthy Smart Cities space connects data on mobility, air quality, noise, temperature, green spaces and public health, combining them to identify relationships between the urban environment and citizens’ well-being.

What are the benefits for public health?

It allows correlations to be detected between the urban environment and pathologies such as respiratory diseases, hypertension, cognitive impairment, and sleep disorders. This enables cities to design evidence-based policies and reduce health risks.
