Proper data analysis can be incredibly valuable for municipalities, allowing substantial policy changes in better alignment with evidence from day-to-day practice. In order to help (Dutch) municipalities figure out how to start a data project (if at all), the Centre for BOLD Cities - in close collaboration with knowledge and network organisation Platform31 - created step-by-step guidelines.
In the four steps that make up 'A good start - quality and ethics in data projects' (currently only available in Dutch), we show municipalities how to suitably set up new data projects.
