Background
Citizen engagement in urban data governance often implies challenging the idea that individuals only passively produce data to inform platforms or governments, getting little to no benefits from it. Instead, it suggests that citizens are more aware of and able to decide how certain information is collected, managed and used and for which purposes, often for the public interest.
With limited knowledge on how cities implement citizen engagement initiatives in data governance, this webinar is an opportunity to gain insights into current approaches to citizens engagement in data initiatives, understanding challenges, and achieving positive outcomes, including a typology of citizens' roles in local data initiatives. Join us in shaping a smarter, sustainable urban future.
