The Evidence Initiative and Smart Cities

As part of the wider Evidence Initiative, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)—the research and policy arm of The Economist Group—has produced a first-of-its-kind Evidence Map to track the availability and characteristics of data in Group of 20 (G20) countries that policymakers need to make sound decisions. – The Economist Group and The Pew Charitable Trusts (2019). The Evidence Map: The Data Imperative. London and Washington, D.C.: The Evidence Initiative

This is an interesting initiative and after reading through the report and exploring the Evidence Map I can see this as a useful source of data to support some of the challenging questions and decisions Smart City Governance and Administration need to address.
