Why
Outside of Metro Manila, Iloilo City is one of the fastest growing highly urbanized city. It is our goal to see economic growth partner with growth in quality of life and in adoption of data-driven policies and decisions, especially in areas of environmental management and emergency response.
Low-cost air-quality sensors present an exciting opportunity to greatly enhance a community's responsiveness and resilience to climate change adaptation and disaster risk management by providing timely, fairly accurate data to inform policies affecting the lives of its citizens. We believe that by leveraging the cost-effectiveness and rapid development of these air-quality sensors coupled with the right infrastructure to collect, transmit, share and analyze the data from these sensors, Iloilo City can set the trend for smarter, responsive cities in Western Visayas, the Philippines and the world."Data! data! data!" he cried impatiently. "I can't make bricks without clay." — Sir Arthur Conan Dolye, The Adventure of the Copper Beeches, A Sherlock Holmes Short Story
