The Linux Foundation has launched Technologies , a platform to support the build of open source software for use in urban planning. Kepler, which was released in 2018, is currently used by Airbnb, Atkins Global, Cityswifter, Lime, Mapbox, Sidewalk Labs, and UBILabs, among others to generate visualizations of location data. The goal is to ensure interoperability and speed the adoption of technologies targeting urban issues like civil engineering, multimodal transport and pollution and develop safe smart cities. Uber, Facebook, IBM , Here Google , Technologies and the University of California San Diego are among the founding participants and Uber ’s no-code big data geospatial analysis tool Kepler.gl, used by firms including Airbnb and Atkins Global , will be the foundation’s first project.
