Efficient cities are cities whose management is evidence-driven; cities that
transform data into information and then transform that information into knowledge
that helps governments make the best decisions possible.
They are cities that plan,
set clear objectives and define the metrics that will allow them to evaluate their
progress, and which have the capacity to make the necessary adjustments when they
stray off course.
They are cities that set up teams and distribute responsibilities
effectively among those team members who have the capability to lead change
processes.
They are cities which, through the use of the right tools, can allocate
public resources in such a way as to increase the impact of their budget.
To support the cities along this process, we have developed methodologies and tools
that help them maximize their potential. In this way, we encourage each local
government to implement comprehensive, coherent and efficient policies that will
result in them meeting the objectives set.
With these tools, we seek to provide the local governments with a roadmap to
navigate the complexities of management, paving the way towards the objectives each
city wishes to meet.
