Urban Data Pioneers, How Tulsa is Collaborating to Understand Urban Challenges

Abstract

The Mayor's Office of Performance Strategy & Innovation recognized the need to better understand problems like traffic crashes and blight's relationship with crime patterns by analyzing data. Most of the data exists, but few within the city have data analysis and visualization expertise. Urban Data Pioneers teams people who have a hypothesis they would like to test with analysis and visualization experts inside and outside city hall. The aim is to have teams learn experientially and experimentally.

We provide experiential learning opportunities for city employees and community partners wanting to explore data analysis projects that have a connection to a problem or a citywide goal. Teams have 10 weeks to work on projects and give a report on their findings.

We invite participants who work for the city of Tulsa and any community partners or citizens who want to contribute expertise and time. In the first cohort of UDP, 36 team members made up five teams. Team members represented 10 city departments and 6 outside agencies such as Community Service Council, Code for Tulsa and Growing Together.

Teams work on projects that better inform a policy issue or community-wide goal. For example, in the first cohort, one team looked at traffic safety by analyzing traffic signalization methods to reduce crashes and another looked at the relationship between blighted properties and violent crime rates
