The Financial Upside to Civic Engagement & Transparency Technology
A session at Open Gov West 2011
Mobile and web technology is enabling cities and states to interact with citizens in new ways (Open 311, online citizen forums, etc). These new channels are often promoted as improving transparency and engagement with the community. However, there are cases where implementation of these technologies result in significant revenue increases and/or cost savings for government. We will explore some of these to better understand their opportunities and challenges.
