What happens when a city makes arts and culture a priority? In @CityofNewarkNJ, the impact can be seen across the city.

Since 2019, @BloombergAssoc has partnered pro bono with Newark to support its work to strengthen arts and culture across the city.

For five years now, the Newham Data program through @NewhamLondon has established the borough as a hub for London’s growing digital, data, and AI economy, harnessing tools to improve public service, expand economic opportunity, and build residential skills for the future.

At @ucl's @UCLEast, along with our partners, we celebrated this milestone and the initiative's success and launched the Newham Data Strategy to reinforce inclusive growth and further strengthen public services.

Strong data collection and effective use of that data help cities make informed decisions to improve residents' lives.

In Newham, the borough has created a new strategy to turn data into action – aiming to improve performance, deliver services efficiently, use AI responsibly, and build trust with the community. Learn more about the plan here: bloombg.org/3LO5hLM
