  abstract  = {To address the wide range of global challenges and a more sustainable society, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were developed. They are a set of 17 global, interconnected goals and provide a comprehensive framework for governments, organizations, and communities to work towards common objectives. When aiming at a data-bsed approach to promote a sustainable development, it is necessary to identify for each SDG associated indicators and data sets that provide insights into the status quo or past developments. Existing approaches that aim to provide such data-based information for cities are often limited regarding the spatial resolution of the cities under consideration: they only allow the exploration and analysis of SDGs on a macro level, usually the complete city. However, cities are not homogeneous – different quarters vary a lot with regard to their population, usage, building structure, etc. Even inside of quarters, social disparities can typically be determined. Thus, to accurately identify existing problems, and to improve living conditions accordingly, an analysis at macro level is not enough. The SMEXI (Small Scale Exploration of SDG Indicators) tool presented in this work tries to overcome this limit and enables users to track the progress of SDGs in cities at a fine-grained level.},
