Open Data Discussions Podcast: Greensboro, North Carolina
For this edition of our "Open Data Discussions" podcast we hosted Jason Marshall from the City of Greensboro to discuss open data strategies in urban environments.
Welcome to the Opendatasoft Leadership Podcast Series, “Open Data Discussions”. Each month, we feature a different Open Data program around the country to discuss what has made it successful. These examples will provide insights and strategies that you can implement in your own city.
