Helping cities across the Americas improve lives through well-managed, data-driven local governments.
关于我们
Launched by Bloomberg Philanthropies in 2015, What Works Cities is a national initiative that helps local governments across the country drive progress in their cities through the effective use of data and evidence. What Works Cities’ programs include What Works Cities Certification, the first-ever national standard for data-driven local governance, and What Works Cities Economic Mobility, which works with nine American cities to address the strong demand among local leaders for more effective ways to address rising income inequality and declining economic mobility. To date, What Works Cities has supported over 150 cities in using data and evidence to tackle pressing challenges, such as health and safety, homelessness, and neighborhood blight. In 2016, What Works Cities was named by Forbes as “one of the ten most promising philanthropic bets” of the year and by Engaging Local Government Leaders as the “most important company operating in the local government arena.”

“The Bloomberg Philanthropies What Works Cities Certification is one of the largest-ever philanthropic efforts to improve how local governments use data to improve people’s lives. This work is helping reform-minded mayors across the Americas bring their organizations into the 21st century. Whether to stem housing shortages, reduce traffic fatalities, or improve resident service and responsiveness, these city halls are tapping data, digital, and artificial intelligence to rise to the challenge – and we are thrilled to support their progress.” - James Anderson Learn more: bit.ly/WWC104Certified

Read this column in El Pais by Mayor Tomás Vodanovic and Natalie Margarita González Santander from newly Certified Municipalidad de Maipú:
??Junto al Alcalde Tomás Vodanovic escribimos esta columna en el marco de la certificación What Works Cities de Bloomberg Philanthropies y Results for America porque estamos convencidos de la relevancia de la buena gestión pública, y en particular de la buena gestión municipal, para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas y así, al mismo tiempo, fortalecer la confianza en el Estado y sus instituciones. ??Como lo decimos en la columna, las gestiones municipales “Somos la experiencia más próxima del Estado para millones de ciudadanos y por lejos la que más impacta en su diario vivir. En nuestra forma de trabajo nos jugamos mucho más que nuestras valoraciones individuales o el crecimiento de nuestros proyectos políticos. En la gestión municipal nos jugamos, desde el nivel local, la sostenibilidad y legitimidad de los sistemas democráticos.” ???? ----------------------------------- ??Together with Mayor Tomás Vodanovic we wrote this column within the framework of the What Works Cities certification from Bloomberg Philanthropies and Results for America because we are convinced of the relevance of good public management, and in particular good local government management, to improve the quality of life of people and, at the same time, strengthen trust in the State and its institutions. ??As we say in this column, as local governments “We are the closest experience of the State for millions of citizens and by far the one that has the most impact on their daily lives. In the way we work, we have much more at stake than our individual assessments or the growth of our political projects. In municipal management we are at stake, from the local level, with the sustainability and legitimacy of democratic systems.”???? ???? Columna completa en este link/ Full text in this link ??
