• improve decision-making on issues related to urban planning, city management, environmental protection and energy consumption based on urban pattern and its morphology;
• promote inclusion among various users groups (e.g. elder or diversely able citizens) through services which account for barriers at city level;
• involve citizens at wider scale by collecting geo-referenced information based on location based services at urban scale.

Based on interoperable 3D UIMs, i-SCOPE delivers an open platform on top of which it develops, within different domains, three ‘smart city’ services. These will be piloted and validated, within a number of EU cities which will be actively engaged throughout the project lifecycle. The services will address:

1. Improved inclusion and personal mobility of aging and diversely able citizens through an accurate city-level differently-abled-friendly personal routing service which accounts for detailed urban layout, features and barriers.
2. Optimization of energy consumption through a service for accurate assessment of solar energy potential and energy loss at building level.
3. Environmental monitoring through a real-time environmental noise mapping service leveraging citizen’s involvement will who act as distributed sensors city-wide measuring noise levels through their mobile phones.
