City Of Kingston builds transparent data culture through portals
The City of Kingston in Canada has a clear vision to provide its residents and businesses with a smart, livable, modern city, and is committed to fostering open government by encouraging participation and demonstrating transparency and accountability, internally and externally. It therefore looked to create a robust data portal that was scalable, efficient and self-service for users.
Accelerated by the City’s commitment to ensure its data is open by default, the Open Data Kingston portal has now grown to provide comprehensive information, including via a range of user-friendly dashboards, delivering transparency, powering innovative services such as its MyKingston app, and extending data sharing internally and externally.

Over the course of the program we’ve really widened the types of data that are being shared. We began with GIS data to increase efficiency - now we're covering data from across the organization, especially around transparency and are focused on using data to support our wider priorities, both internally and externally.
