So much of the conversation in Toronto & elsewhere in 🇨🇦 when it comes to "smart cities" has done an unsatisfactory job of engaging the public abt data - in all its forms. Residents need not be technicians in order to weigh in on what kind of city they want to live in. [THREAD]
e.g. Residents have been rightfully questioning the utter lack of transparency abt data when it comes to Sidewalk Toronto. We have seen no meaningful public education efforts around:
-Who controls it?
-Who can use it?
-Under what terms?
-How do we leverage data as a public good?
