Mayor William Peduto Talks Fostering Community through Open Data During Visit
Mayor William Peduto of Pittsburgh has promised and produced innovation for the city of Pittsburgh since running for the office. Now, he's established the Department of Innovation and Performance, and one of its first projects, the Burgh's Eye View app, was lauded as “one of the top ten data applications in the world” by South Korea-based WeGo, an international organization that promotes resources for smart cities.
He has also helped the city launch other initiatives including the Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center in 2015. The WPRDC links the government, nonprofits, and community groups to help solve issues confronting the region.
