Driving Innovation and Civic Engagement with Open Data
Abstract
The City of Philadelphia is embarking on a ground-breaking strategy to drive innovation in government built upon the sharing of valuable city data in highly usable formats with outside users and engaging technical and creative classes in our city to help turn this raw data into valuable solutions to improve the lives of citizens.
Philadelphia's efforts are part of the larger “open data” movement that has been adopted by other cities across the country and in other parts of the world. But there are some characteristics to what is happening in Philadelphia that make it unique among large cities and that can produce lessons for other cities to follow.
