Big Data
Smart Cities
Outreach
With an increasing number of cities around the world recognising the potential value of data to their councils, local businesses and residents, it's crucial to consider issues such as data ownership and the accessibility of this data.
Through my work, I am an advocate for data democratisation - where data about the cities that people are living in is made accessible to them both freely and easily.
The potential benefits of this are significant: by removing the technical and beaurocratic barriers to access and understand city data, citizens are empowered to understand, and solve, local problems fostering a culture of innovation and vertical collaboration between officials and individuals.
