Smart City
A smart city is an urban development vision to integrate information and communication technology and Internet of things technology in a secure fashion to manage a city's assets. These assets include local departments' information systems, schools, libraries, transportation systems, hospitals, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement, and other community services.
What Works Cities
• “….reflects a set of aspirations and activities that create a strong foundation for the effective use of data and evidence within city governments.
Leveraging GIS Program – Cost Effective
• High ROI – some as high as 14 to 1 in early stages like MOA
• Fast and Agile
• Creates Culture of Sharing
We can’t afford not to have mature GIS program
• Data Owner for Each “Restricted” Dataset
• Open Data Policy – to public by default
• Rebuild Trust – It is “Your Data”
• Department Authority and Business Knowledge Leads –Central GIS is service not authority
• GDIC Home Page
The Approach – Authoritative Data
Many had not been updated since 2001!
Grid Maps
• 8,720 individual map pdfs public
• 165 map pdfs for emergency services
