New Satellite Data Platform to Aid Rome’s Urban Management

Rome’s Digital Transformation Department has awarded a three-year contract to a consortium led by Almaviva, including e-GEOS, Intellera Consulting, Geosystems, and Tecninf. The project should enhance the city’s geospatial data systems, particularly the “GeoRoma” platform, by integrating advanced satellite and aerial data.

The platform should provide high-resolution mapping, digital terrain models, and climate-related insights to support urban planning. It will also help identify heat-vulnerable areas and assess extreme weather impacts.

Designed for both public and private use, GeoRoma will serve as the foundation for Rome’s Smart City Plan and digital twin initiative, promoting open-data accessibility. The system aims to improve decision-making in land management and sustainable urban development.
