With 120 indicators driving the CitiIQ algorithm, currently the firm acquires & curates city dataset one city at a time. Using scalable Data Analytics stacks powered by AI and machine learning, the project is intended to enable the firm to cost effectively acquire the 120-indicators specific datasets for the target 4,000 cities in the world with a population of 100,000 or more. This will dramatically expand the growth and scale of the CitiIQ platform's capability, without using human labour for data acquisition.
