Civic Tech YVR #19 | Open Data and Data Analytics for Government

Key Question: With so much data and technology available, how are we solving the problems of urban life and populations at scale?

This month, we'll be exploring the wonderful world of open data with the City of Vancouver and the topic of government analytics with UrbanLogiq.

Linda Low from the City of Vancouver will walk us through their newest Open Data Portal, a platform where anyone can access, explore, search, filter, and visualize datasets with maps or charts – right in your browser – whether you're a novice or expert. Users can also export data in popular formats or consume them using an application programming interface (API).
