An Update on Data Governance for Sidewalk Toronto

Summary

We believe Quayside can set a new model for responsible data use in cities — anchored by an independent Civic Data Trust.

From its creation, Sidewalk Labs has recognized that digital tools have a big role to play — alongside great urban design and innovative policy — in tackling big urban challenges and improving quality of life in cities. The launch of Sidewalk Toronto sparked an active and healthy public discussion about data privacy, ownership, and governance.
