How Using Data Makes the City of Boston Stronger
Abstract
The public sector is frequently thought of as being slow and costly, inefficient and bureaucratic. The City of Boston aims to change that perception for the better using data to implement change and improvement in real- time. Mayor Martin J. Walsh has undertaken a robust commitment to the collection and use of data across Boston to ensure that constituents have an open line of communication, via an app on their personal media devices, with City leaders. For cities to continue to grow and thrive, they must adapt to and adopt these novel technologies, which will enable better responsiveness to their citizens.
