Changes at "Workshop: What should an Open Data observatory look like?"

This activity will focus on imagining and defining what a citizen-centered open data observatory should look like: an open space where people can ask questions of the data and get answers that help them better understand urban reality. The goal is to explore the role such a space should play, the functionalities it should offer, the types of data it should include, and how that data could be used to generate collective knowledge and support informed decision-making.

The session will also look at existing initiatives that could inspire this model, and address key issues such as how the data is constructed, how it is visualized and interpreted, and how to ensure accessibility and clarity for people from all walks of life. The aim is to design a useful, transparent, and participatory space with a clear operating model — one that enables citizens to observe, question, and understand the city through data.
