With its smart city and business systems producing increasing volumes of data, the Town knew it needed to share this information seamlessly so it could be accessed and reused by employees, businesses and citizens.


To deliver on its objectives, Cary has created a central one stop shop data portal, spanning areas as diverse as planning, leisure, the environment and geographic information. Citizens and employees can now download datasets, create maps and data experiences, and even suggest new data sources to add.
