Join the NYC Council Data & Web Team for a dive into three new powerful public datasets that reveal the Council’s biggest roles in shaping the city. This session will explore how these datasets drive transparency and empower constituents.
Datasets being discussed are: - Legislation (1998 to Present) - Participatory Budgeting Ideas, Proposals and Funded Projects - Council Connect: District Office Visits, Calls, and Emails (to be published)
Through lightning talks from the people who run key Council programs and build the tools that make them accessible, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how NYC Council data is created and the challenges of creating relevant, interpretable data. Whether you're a policymaker, researcher, or engaged New Yorker, this is your chance to see data in action!
