Abstract
Governments generate vast amounts of data, but making it accessible, actionable, and engaging for the public remains a challenge. This session explores how the City of Austin, Texas, USA leverages Python to transform open data into interactive dashboards that foster transparency and empower citizens. Through real-world examples from Austin’s public sector projects, attendees will learn how data visualization and analytics can strengthen community engagement, enhance decision-making, and create a more informed society.
