This dashboard called "Helsinki vs Antwerp Comparison" has been designed to provide a tool for comparing two cities on the basis of nearly common parameters to the city officials of Helsinki and Antwerp. This dashboard allows to control at the same time data from the same kind of sensors in the city of Helsinki and Antwerp to have a complete view on other environmental parameters in the cities. The dashboad has been produced by Snap4City team, you can find more and more information on Https//www.snap4city.org
