Launch of the MOOC "Data and Urban Governance"

THIS MOOC, OFFERED BY OUR CITIES AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY CHAIR, handles questions about the impact of data and how city life is structured, as it influences coalitions, actors, instruments, policies, and forms of regulation.

All the city’s businesses are now impacted by the digital transition, which is bringing new expertise and professions to the fore and transforming urban governance. Through this online course, the Cities and Digital Technology Chair offers urban professionals, of today and tomorrow, a better understanding of the social, political and economic challenges of data and digital technologies.

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

• navigate the landscape of urban governance in the digital era, including its myriad actors and instruments

• analyze the contemporary changes in municipal service markets 
• understand what is at stake in terms of the creation and implementation of public policies when data comes to town
