To achieve our goals, we carry out an integrated suite of active sening approaches, investigating people’s life patterns with tools such as participatory mapping and serious gaming. In addition, we combine these with a set of passive sensing techniques, using big data analytics that provide us key information about mobility. Finally, we transfer our knowledge to policymaking to facilitate the adaptation of transformative governance methods. Thus, we aim at applying our strategies effectively to support reaching the goals of carbon neutrality, biodiversity conservation and sustainable lifestyles in urban areas of Finland by 2030.
