“...in 2014, Chicago’s Department of Innovation and Technology started sifting through publicly available city data and built an algorithm to predict which restaurants were most likely to be in violation of health codes, based on the characteristics of previously recorded violations.”
Article by Julian Spector on Citylab: Chicago Is Predicting Food Safety Violations. Why Aren't Other Cities?
“Waves of digitally astute cities are setting the pace, including
Singapore, Panama, Seoul and Tallinn.
They’ve all created spaces for digital disruption, opening data sets
and convening citizens to challenge the digital architecture of the
city and engage in direct democratic dialogue with officials.” (Quote from ‘Cities as Platforms’ by Gerard Grech in Tech Crunch)
