HUMAN DATA: The Impact of Open Data for Connected Infrastructure

In cities made of brick and mortar, steel and concrete - digital technologies represent an added layer of information that brings meaning to the everyday, human dimension of cities. As local governments have started to implement these technologies and realized the value to be unlocked by sharing this information, they have been opening up their datasets and creating platforms, enabling others to be able to share theirs as well.

Currently hundreds of services are relying on this open data to operate within cities. Yet, what is the impact on the citizens and workers of NYC? How do we correlate the value of a dataset with the value for someone walking to their next meeting or someone fixing the side of a road? Too much time is spent on the instrumentation aspect of open data and not enough on the desired impact.
