Urban data platforms (UDP) are currently being launched in many cities as a part of their smart city strategies. They gather and provide access to data from various urban domains, including critical infrastructure.

We performed a survey about UDPs in Germany. Focusing on their potential for improving resilience of the city (resilience through ICT) and the resilience of the UDPs themselves (resilience for ICT), our key findings were:

▪ UDP providers tend to focus on normal conditions rather than crisis

▪ critical infrastructure is often not covered

▪ lack of focus on crisis shows in the design of the UDPs as well
