What Works Cities Socks

What Works Cities is a national initiative launched by Bloomberg Philanthropies to help cities use data and evidence to tackle their most pressing challenges. Since its inception in 2015, What Works Cities has partnered with over 100 mid-sized American cities, providing them with cutting-edge tools, resources, and expertise to enhance their use of data and evidence in decision-making. Through this collaboration, cities have improved public services, increased operational efficiency, and fostered a culture of innovation within local government. The initiative's success has led to measurable improvements in areas such as public safety, economic development, and community engagement, demonstrating the power of data-driven governance in creating more livable, equitable, and sustainable urban environments.
