Safer Streets

Imagine knowing that your city is actively using state-of-the-art data analytics to make your daily commute safer. The City of Coquitlam’s public works adoption of the UrbanLogiq Crash Analysis Tool will enable staff to leverage five years of detailed crash data to identify hazardous locations and conditions—enabling the city to proactively address these hotspots. Whether it’s a problematic intersection or a stretch of road that’s particularly dangerous, this initiative aims to pinpoint and mitigate risks, ensuring safer streets.

Boosting Local Businesses

As the world rebounds from economic challenges, local policymakers will have access to insights into the health of the commercial districts. By merging up-to-date census data with local business licensing information, the city aims to assess and enhance the vitality of retail and commercial areas. Additionally, powered through the UrbanLogiq platform staff can evaluate the economic impact of large events by analyzing spending patterns, offering valuable insights for business strategies.

“The City of Coquitlam’s recently approved Economic Development Strategy lists several key actions to attract, grow and support our local business community. We look forward to partnering with UrbanLogiq to consolidate, visualize and analyze local data in order to encourage new investment and build sustainable economic clusters,” Eric Kalnins, Acting Manager Economic Development, City of Coquitlam.

More Enjoyable Public Spaces

The Park and Site Visitation Analysis Tool in the UrbanLogiq platform will utilize data to measure the volume of visitors, enabling better resource management and assisting with planning.
This means well-maintained parks and public spaces, optimized for the enjoyment of Coquitlam residents.
