Better Data for Better Cities: A MAP Symposium

Click here to RSVP

The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), in collaboration with the Partnership for Sustainable, Low-carbon Transport (SLoCaT), is hosting the first Mobility Analytics Partnership (MAP) symposium on data for the public good. The recent explosion of urban data has the ability to reshape our understanding of how cities function and empower better decision making through new indicators and analysis. However, we can only do this if we are able to use this data to answer the critical questions cities are asking.

This Symposium will convene leading experts from the private and public sectors to look how cities can use data for decision making. At this invite-only event, we will explore how to unlock answers from new urban data in ways that are beneficial to all parties, public and private.
