Moving On Valorization and Engagement towards Sustainability through IntelligenceTools

Description
We’re Moving-IT! MOVES-IT Project has been selected among 110 applications from 23 EU Member States in the framework of the 3rd European Urban Initiative Innovative Actions (EUI-IA) Call for Proposals. GECAD will  closely work with the Municipality of Matosinhos addressing the need to digitalise public services, improve data collection, and foster community-led urban governance. The project will establish an Urban Intelligence Centre (UIC) to centralise and manage diverse datasets, including information on green spaces, water resources, and citizens’ sustainable practices. A key feature of the project is the Digital Neighbourhood Competition (DNC), a gamified tool designed to engage residents in tracking and contributing data from selected households and public spaces in the Bairro da Biquinha neighbourhood. Participating households will use the Cartão Único Municipal (Single Municipal Card) and an app to monitor sustainable lifestyles, while house screens will be installed to provide real-time feedback and data visualisation. To ensure the long-term impact of these efforts, the municipality will establish a dedicated working group and a revolving fund to support the development of community-driven solutions informed by the lessons learned from digitalising data at the local level. By empowering citizens with digital tools and fostering collaboration, the project aims to transform Matosinhos into a greener, more connected, and vibrant city.
