2017 March: Stakeholder meeting

Questions to stakeholders What specific results would like to see by 2020? What would you say we should not do in the future? How would you measure the success? Do you use the city statistics published by Eurostat? Do you use city data from other sources? Do you have any unmet data needs?

Unmet data needs Data needs resulting from the Urban Agenda Data on urban governance Indicators on smart cities and Financial data data on commuting migration, migrants (school enrolment) digital economy, digital society well-being water This question triggered the most contributions. All participants expressed some unmet data needs. Most frequently mentioned were the data needs resulting from the Urban Agenda, data on urban governance, indicators on smart cities and financial data. Several participants agreed on the need for more data on commuting (day-time population), migration, migrants (school enrolment), digital economy, digital society, well-being, “triple bottom line (economy, environment, society) and water. Social data, poverty data, data on active population, data on housing (permits, funding) were mentioned once each. Concerning the geographical dimension several participants expressed the need for more geographical detail, in particular need for more data on small and medium sized cities. The need for data on the metropolitan level and data on urban partnerships was also mentioned by one participant each. Several participants asked for an extended geographical coverage for the perception survey. The need for more spatial data (proximity of green area, proximity of urban transport, etc) was also mentioned.

Needs reflected in the new work programme emphasize work on harmonization set deadlines for data delivery which could improve timeliness and help us to set up a more traditional, annual release calendar call for work on awareness raising and communication call for the use of new sources and small area estimates

Planned new work programme - mandatory Task 1: Assessment of feasibility of harmonisation Task 2: Provision of statistics on sub-national level Task 3: Provide metadata

Planned new work programme - optional Task 4: Complement the perception survey on quality of life in cities Task 5: Raise awareness and increase knowledge about sub-national Task 6: Improvement of the use of new data sources and novel methods to produce sub- national statistics

Work planned for 2017 Sign grant agreements with Member States and ask others to join the programme on a voluntary basis – planned programme covers 2018-2020 Test the feasibility of small area estimation methods – pilot study (possible follow-ups) Implement the data collection started in 2016 (partly supported by grants)
