Its goal is to improve urban infrastructure through technological solutions, and tackle issues such as cost of living, efficient transportation and energy usage.[1][2] It is headed by Daniel L. Doctoroff, former deputy mayor of New York City for economic development and former chief executive of Bloomberg L.P.[3] Other members include Craig Nevill-Manning, co-founder of Google's New York office and inventor of Froogle.[4] ProjectsProject Sidewalk and Sidewalk TorontoIn April 2016, The Information reported that Sidewalk plans to create a new city in the United States to test design ideas prior to real world implementation.[5] Sidewalk has not confirmed that report but has said it's engaged in thought experiments about what it could be like to develop a community "from the internet up."[6] In October 2017, it was announced that Sidewalk Labs would develop Quayside, a {{convert|4.9|ha|acre|abbr=off}} site in Toronto's East Bayfront neighbourhood. This occurred in response to a competition organized by Waterfront Toronto, and the resulting vision is referred to as Sidewalk Toronto. Sidewalk Toronto is envisioned to be "a testbed for emerging technologies, materials and processes" to tackle issues such as the sustainability, accessibility, inclusiveness and prosperity of urban communities.[7][8] The initiative is also envisioned to be scaled up across Toronto's Port Lands, a {{convert|325|ha|acre|abbr=off}} area that is one of the largest areas of underdeveloped urban land in North America.[9] FlowSidewalk is also working with the U.S. Department of Transportation to assess road data gathered from smartphones to analyze congestion and other traffic conditions, and develop a transportation coordination platform to improve the efficiency of road, parking, and transit use.[2][10] Investments and portfolio companiesSidewalk Labs invests in and incubates companies to develop tools that can support Sidewalk Toronto and scale to other cities around the world.[11] Intersection and Link{{Main|Intersection (company)}}In June 2015, Sidewalk Labs led a consortium of investors in the acquisition of Control Group and Titan forming a new company called Intersection.[12] Intersection works in cities and public spaces to offer people connectivity, information, and content, and offer brands advertising rooted in real-world context.[13]Intersection's first product is LinkNYC, which is turning 7,500 old public pay phones into kiosks delivering free gigabit Wi-Fi, video and voice calling, and access to emergency and other city services across New York City. Intersection is exploring bringing Link to other cities.[14] In October 2016, Intersection collaborated with British internet provider BT and advertising agency Primesight to install links in London.[15] CoordIn early 2018, Sidewalk Labs spun off Coord, a company focused on providing RESTful APIs for accessing information like routing, bike share details, toll information, and curbside details.[16][17] In October 2018, Coord raised an additional $5 million to continue building several products.[18] References1. ^"Sidewalk Labs" Seeks to Improve City Life {{Alphabet Inc.}}2. ^1 Alphabet Inc Subsidiary Sidewalk Labs Hints at Development Plans for a New City 3. ^{{Cite news|title = Sidewalk Labs, a Start-Up Created by Google, Has Bold Aims to Improve City Living|url = https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/11/technology/sidewalk-labs-a-start-up-created-by-google-has-bold-aims-to-improve-city-living.html|newspaper = The New York Times|date = 2015-06-10|access-date = 2016-01-10|issn = 0362-4331|first = Steve|last = Lohr}} 4. ^{{Cite web|title = Sidewalk Labs, Google’s Company for Cities, Builds Its Inaugural Executive Team|url = http://recode.net/2016/02/22/sidewalk-labs-googles-company-for-cities-builds-its-inaugural-executive-team/|website = Re/code|accessdate = 2016-04-22}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.theinformation.com/sidewalk-labs-preps-proposal-for-digital-district |title=Alphabet’s Sidewalk Preps Proposal for Digital District |first=Jessica |last=Lessin |publisher=The Information |date=14 April 2016 |accessdate=16 April 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://statescoop.com/google-wants-to-build-a-city |title=Google wants to build a city |first=Jake |last=Williams |publisher=Statescoop |date=4 May 2017 |accessdate=5 May 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.thestar.com/news/city_hall/2017/10/04/google-firm-poised-to-partner-on-toronto-high-tech-neighbourhood.html |title=Google firm poised to partner on Toronto high-tech neighbourhood |first=David |last=Rider |publisher=Toronto Star |date=4 October 2017 |accessdate=4 October 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://waterfrontoronto.ca/nbe/portal/waterfront/Home/waterfronthome/newsroom/newsarchive/news/2017/march/waterfront-toronto-takes-first-step-in-building-quayside |title=Waterfront Toronto Takes First Step in Building Quayside: A New Community That Will Provide Testbed for Solutions to Pressing Urban Challenges |publisher=Waterfront Toronto |date=17 March 2017 |accessdate=4 October 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=https://sidewalktoronto.ca/ |title=Sidewalk Toronto |publisher=Sidewalk Toronto |accessdate=18 October 2017}} 10. ^Sidewalk Labs - Flow 11. ^Sidewalk Labs official site 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/google-sidewalk-labs-acquires-titan-outdoor-and-control-group-2015-6|title=Google is funding a plan to bring free Wi-Fi to NYC|last=D'Onfro|first=Jillian|website=Business Insider|access-date=2018-02-05}} 13. ^Intersection - About Us 14. ^Sidewalk Labs - Link NYC 15. ^{{Cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/25/linknycs-free-wifi-and-phone-kiosks-hit-london-as-linkuk-in-partnership-with-bt/|title=LinkNYC’s free WiFi and phone kiosks hit London as LinkUK, in partnership with BT|last=Lunden|first=Ingrid|website=TechCrunch|access-date=2016-12-25}} 16. ^{{Cite news|url=https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/30/coord-will-get-you-there-with-its-new-apis/|title=Coord will get you there one way or another with its new APIs|work=TechCrunch|access-date=2018-12-02|language=en-US}} 17. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.wired.com/story/alphabet-sidewalk-labs-coord-city-of-tomorrow/|title=Sidewalk Labs Is Building a Platform for Making the City of Tomorrow|work=WIRED|access-date=2018-12-02|language=en-US}} 18. ^{{Cite news|url=https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/11/coord-a-sidewalk-labs-spin-out-raises-5-million-to-help-mobility-services-better-integrate-into-cities/|title=Coord, a Sidewalk Labs spin-out, raises $5 million to help mobility services better integrate into cities|work=TechCrunch|access-date=2018-12-02|language=en-US}} 3 : Alphabet Inc.|Companies based in New York City|Companies based in Manhattan |
