NWelcome to the neighborhood!


NYC's new Chief Digital Officer asks: How can NYC use technology to serve citizens?

noraleah:

From the inspirational Rachel Sterne. (She has a tumblr!)

I would love to see live energy performance data on city buildings, including schools — something very close to my professional heart. It would spur the private sector to make similar moves toward transparency and inspire other municipalities. It would encourage healthy competition in a race toward efficiency and would get citizens, especially kids, involved in the sustainability of the city. We’re already collecting (much of) the data and the City is doing commendable work in this area. Sharing it would be a significant step forward.
