As the central resource for cities on the intersection of government, data, and innovation, the Data-Smart City Pod features leaders and experts in governance, innovation, and research. We want to help every listener discover how to be “data smart,” and become better equipped to uncover and preemptively address civic problems through the sharing of integrated, cross-organizational data and insights.

It's been rewarding to share our research in this new format and engage with listeners who might not hear some of these stories otherwise. Speaking directly to our audience and providing access to mayors or subject matter experts is aligned with our goal of sharing best practices and encouraging innovation at the city level.
