The Digital and Data Strategy Toolkit is your roadmap for creating a practical and impactful data strategy tailored to your city’s unique challenges and goals. With a focus on flexibility, this toolkit provides step-by-step prompts and questions, allowing cities to outline and refine their data goals, foster collaboration, and empower residents through data-driven decision-making. Developed by Open Cities Lab, with input from user personas and validated through external reviews, this resource supports cities in achieving self-sufficiency in data utilisation, enhancing transparency, and enabling better service delivery without long-term reliance on external parties.
