Transformation on a national and global scale
Often, organizations start a pilot to test out a transformative idea. One such pilot was done in Barcelona, Spain, where environmental sensors recorded the noise and the pollution levels in residents' homes. The data was encrypted and shared anonymously with the communities in Barcelona. This data helped influence city-level decisions. As part of this pilot, the technical issues related to gathering, storing, and controlling the stream of sensor information were resolved. This was under the Decentralized Citizen-Owned Data Ecosystems (DECODE) initiative (see https://decodeproject.eu/pilots). Do all grassroots-level transformative projects and pilots succeed and scale?
