Project Approach
The project adopts a user-centred approach where various local, national and international stakeholders participate in the co-design and co-development of the AI-based solutions. The project team utilises an extensive network to identify and engage with Early Adopters (in the pilot cities) and stakeholders (e.g., IDEAMAPS, GEO, and GEO-HPI) for the collaborative development.
