《移动指针：什么对城市起作用以及数据和证据的使用》
Moving the Needle: What Works Cities and the use of data and evidence
摘要：
Bloomberg Philanthropies于2015年推出了What Works Cities（WWC），以帮助城市更好地利用数据和证据来推动决策并改善居民的生活。在未来三年内，WWC将与100个人口在10万至100万之间的美国城市合作，衡量他们的实践状况，并提供有针对性的技术援助。本文使用通过WWC发现过程获得的数据来了解67个城市目前如何使用数据提供城市服务。我们的分析证实，虽然城市拥有使用数据和证据的强烈愿望，但政府领导人在应用这些实践的能力方面受到限制。我们发现，一个城市对使用数据的承诺是整体表现的最强预测因素，几乎任何一个特定技术领域使用数据为决策提供信息的强有力实践都是其他领域强有力实践的指标。开放数据是一个例外;我们发现，较大的城市更善于采用开放数据政策和计划，而与其使用数据的整体表现无关。本文旨在更深入地了解这些调查结果背后的问题，并继续讨论如何最好地支持城市在这项工作中的努力。
英文摘要：
Bloomberg Philanthropies launched What Works Cities (WWC) in 2015 to help cities better leverage data and evidence to drive decision-making and improve residents' lives. Over three years, WWC will work with 100 American cities with populations between 100,000 and 1,000,000 to measure their state of practice and provide targeted technical assistance. This paper uses the data obtained through the WWC discovery process to understand how 67 cities are currently using data to deliver city services. Our analysis confirms that while cities possess a strong desire to use data and evidence, government leaders are constrained in their ability to apply these practices. We find that a city's stated commitment to using data is the strongest predictor of overall performance and that strong practice in almost any one specific technical area of using data to inform decisions is an indicator of strong practices in other areas. The exception is open data; we find larger cities are more adept at adopting open data policies and programs, independent of their performance using data overall. This paper seeks to develop a deeper understanding of the issues underlying these findings and to continue the conversation on how to best support cities' efforts in this work.
