Americans want city governments to be more responsive to their needs and desires. Meanwhile, city leaders manage what they measure, and they need hard data to drive smart decisions and focus on what works.

This panel will explore how cities big and small across the U.S. use technology to power collaboration between government and communities—unlocking new opportunities to help people shape how their cities are run.
