Developed in line with the 2024–2030 National Smart Cities Strategy and Action Plan of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, Plato offers a new vision in areas such as urban planning, resource management, decision support systems, and citizen participation.
- In an era where urban life is rapidly digitalizing, city management is also being redefined with technology-based approaches. Now, not only the physical structures but also the data associated with these structures must be analyzed and managed correctly, which is critical for the sustainability of cities.
- It enables the collection, processing, visualization, and interpretation of geographic, structural, and environmental data integrated into the system by different institutions under a single structure. It provides decision-makers with a powerful digital infrastructure in many areas such as urban planning, infrastructure management, disaster risk analysis, energy efficiency, and citizen engagement.
- Plato's main approach is to make cities manageable not only through maps but also through dynamic and interactive digital models. The platform combines 2D and 3D geographic data management with real-time sensor data, offering a transparent, data-driven, and holistic city management approach.
- During the development process, the National Smart Cities Strategy, OGC-compliant data standards, and the existing technological infrastructures of public institutions were taken into account; thus, Plato has been designed as a modular and scalable solution that can meet both technical and administrative needs.
