As cities keep growing and changing, the idea of “smart cities” is getting a lot of attention. A smart city uses technology and data to make life better for its citizens, boost operational efficiency and encourage sustainable development. At the core of this transformation is data—how it’s collected, managed and used. Good data governance is essential to make sure the data powering smart cities is accurate, secure and responsibly handled. Smart Cities DIVE, brought this interesting topic to our attention in their article, “How data portals support data governance strategies for smart communities.”
Looking ahead, data governance will only become more important as the amount and types of data continue to grow. New advances in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and blockchain technology open up fresh opportunities to strengthen data governance. By making data governance a priority, smart cities can fully tap into data’s potential to create more livable, sustainable and resilient urban spaces.
In short, data governance is the backbone of smart cities. It ensures data is managed effectively, securely and ethically. As cities around the world adopt more smart technologies, strong data governance frameworks will be crucial to realizing the goal of smarter, more efficient and more equitable urban living.
