Today marks the relaunch of EveryBlock, six years to the day after its first launch. Here’s what I had to say:
“Chicago is a national leader in civic innovation, and the return of EveryBlock is an opportunity for deepening that leadership. We’re especially interested in the development of EveryBlock as an open platform for developers and community members to share and act upon city data and other community information,” said Smart Chicago Collaborative Executive Director Daniel X. O’Neil, who was one of the founders of EveryBlock.
