Visualizing Smart Cities: How Data Visualization can help shape our communities - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Whenever there is data, there is the chance to visualize it and gain valuable insights that can drive change and improvements. Governments have realized the potential that data holds for transforming our towns, cities, living spaces and communities to better address the needs of our modern society. Governments may want to change public transport services to suit commuters who move away from city centers due to increasing living costs, or develop programs that deliver more support services to areas showing high incidences of mental illnesses, or simply monitor bike traffic to assess the necessity of additional cycle lanes and bike share programs in our capitals. Data and data visualization can help us identify the needs of our communities and can support us in addressing them effectively. In this webinar Andy and Eva will present examples of Government using data visualization to improve services for communities and will share how you can get involved through analyzing open data and becoming part of the wider 'dataviz' community.
