The document discusses the role of language services providers in the development of smart cities, highlighting the importance of data accessibility and inclusion for effective governance and planning. It argues that language should be included as a key indicator in smart city frameworks to enhance social innovation and community engagement. Furthermore, it outlines opportunities for language professionals to advocate for inclusive policies and practices in the data economy.
![“There is an identifiable set of basic
information needs that individuals need
met to navigate everyday life, and that
communities need to have met in order
to thrive. […] A large body of research
suggests […] that access to information and,
equally, the tools and skills necessary to
navigate it are essential to even a minimal
definition of equal opportunity and civic
and democratic participation. Further, both
traditional and contemporary analyses have
demonstrated access to information […] to be
essential to community economic well
being and democracy.”

Words are flags planted on the planets of our beings; they say this is mine, Just as important, words help us find each other and overcome the isolation that threatens to overwhelm and to break us. Words say we are here.” Mona Eltahawy, Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution
