Dear Diary: Open Data for Fairer and More Transparent Cities

How can we oversee decisions on zoning, environmental licensing, and public contracts that shape our cities if they remain hidden in official gazettes? This webinar will introduce Querido Diário [Dear Diary] (QD), an initiative by OKBR that leverages technology to open up and make these crucial data accessible. We will demonstrate in practice how journalists, activists, and citizens can use the tool to monitor urban policies, in line with the central theme of the Urban Circuit by promoting pathways to fairer cities. The event is part of the topic “Data, Innovation, and Smart Cities”, showing how civic technology is fundamental for transparent, people-centered urban management.
