What Works Cities Socks

What Works Cities is a national initiative that helps American cities enhance their use of data and evidence to improve services, inform local decision-making and engage residents. Since its launch in 2015, What Works Cities has partnered with over 100 mid-sized U.S. cities, providing technical assistance, access to expertise, and peer learning opportunities. The initiative focuses on key areas such as open data, performance management, and results-driven contracting. By embracing data-driven strategies, these cities are not only improving operational efficiency but also fostering transparency and trust with their communities. What Works Cities exemplifies how local governments can leverage technology and information to create more responsive, effective, and equitable cities for all residents.
