Marron Institute of Urban Management Presents: Open Data in Action

The Marron Institute of Urban Management will host an afternoon of presentations featuring research from its Transportation and Land Use and Civic Analytics programs, alongside NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s City Health Dashboard and Congressional District Health Dashboard. The event will highlight how these teams apply open data to advance research and policy in transportation, urban systems and public health.

Presenters will discuss how they compile, integrate, and analyze complex datasets to inform urban policy and decision-making. They will also share approaches for making data accessible to broader audiences, including strategies for transparency, effective communication, and open access to data and research findings.
This event is intended for anyone interested in how data-driven research can strengthen policy making, expand access to information, and promote more transparent, equitable, and effective public sector decisions.

Light refreshments will be provided.
