Description

The Urban Commons: How Data and Technology Can Rebuild Our Communities by Daniel T. O'Brien. Boston's 311 reporting system has shown that citizens can make a significant impact when empowered with digital tools to manage public spaces. By analyzing data from this innovative system, O'Brien reveals the transformative power of civic technologies in engaging residents and local leaders. The result is more effective policy and practices that reinvigorate the way cities approach their mutual interests. O'Brien's research highlights the importance of collaborative approaches to deploying public services and utilizing data generated by these efforts. By examining the successes and challenges of Boston's 311 system, he provides valuable insights for other cities seeking to improve their relationships with citizens and create more sustainable communities. This book offers a pioneering model for modern digital data and technology in urban governance, shedding light on the potential of civic technologies to rebuild and strengthen community environments.
