Welcome to A Global Network of Networks of Integrated Urban Services (GNNIUS) for Healthy and Smart Cities.

GNNIUS for smart and healthy cities is an international network of networks. It envisions initiating a general urban data analytics platform currently missing in the urban research community. Such a platform is needed to advance understanding of multi-scale processes, harness the new paradigm of sensors and models to address the most consequential knowledge gaps, and consider co-benefits/tradeoffs in multi-sectoral systems for decision-making support.

GNNIUS will create:

1. trans-disciplinary dialogues between domain experts (i.e., urban climates and systems) and technical experts (i.e., sensor networks, sensing and control, uncertainty quantification, and big-data science)
2. synergies among complementary observation, modeling and data analytics in distinct global cities
3. a consensus to holistically evaluate strategies to achieve the desired objectives, such as urban climate mitigation and adaption strategies
