Esri in Redlands is partnering with the International City/County Management Association in an attempt to build better, stronger communities.
The alliance is part of a national effort to get municipalities to reassess the way they approach issues and deliver services, according to a statement released today.
“Citizens are calling on governments to be more transparent, efficient, collaborative, and productive,” said ICMA senior technical specialist Cory Fleming. “In smart communities, local government officials use technology and data to address community needs and make sound policy decisions. These case studies bring to light the smart ways communities are creating a better quality of life for their residents.”
A major part of that effort is using technology to create stronger and more business-savvy cities and counties. Esri, a leader in the making of geographic information system technology, and the ICMA have produced a series of studies that show the practices of a well-run government, according to the statement.
