We started Diagonal because we wanted to build technology responsibly and for the benefit of our cities. We made Diagonal a steward-owned company to ensure that we are guided by purpose. We wrote a bit about what it's like working with a steward owner. diagonal.works/post/steward-…
💯x💯 reasons why ppl in city planning don't use #opendata like @osmuk - many are legacy reasons - maybe we can consider - what if we defaulted to #opendata and turned to other data when we could show, not doing so, would yield an infeasible project path?

Why is the convo about #RedCycle not addressing the bigger problem - Coles & Woolies wrapping everything in plastic. You can be angry at those who were trying to solve the problem, and fine, they should have said, but how about the real problem - everything wrapped in plastic 🛍️
We are hiring! We are looking for a Data Scientist to join our team and help define and improve our urban data analysis tools. More information here: diagonal.works/post/job-data…
"No such crimes of state have occurred in modern history @ the roundabout where the activists established their anti-monument, but Y.González said that the presence of Columbus’ statue there for nearly [1500yrs] represented enough state violence to warrant it as a site of memory"
Challenge 7.13 will feature a solution from @diagonalworks to provide value to local councils by reducing the cost of baseline research, and improving outcomes by linking projects to strategic objectives at the start of the planning process.

ALT In bold is CivTech. Underneath it says, "Challenge 7.13. How can we use technology to better understand the issues facing our town centres, and be a catalyst for revitalisation?" South of Scotland Enterprise and Scottish Borders Council logos are below. To the right is a large number 7. Inside there is a centre of a town.
Congrats to the CivTech 7 Challenge winning teams announced today, 3 of which we're co-sponsoring:

We believe in collaborative data analysis. To avoid creating black box algorithms, we explain how we arrive at analysis results, visually.
Our aim is to unpack complexity, not abstract away from it.

Es normal que alguien acostumbrado a tener ventaja se sienta ofendido cuando le dicen que la ha tenido.
Por eso no hay nada que duela más en mexico que hablar de racismo y clasismo.
So excited to share this explorative work we did in #CDMX using #OpenData - even small projects like #ecoducto can have ambitious social impact goals, the design process can use data to help make better design decisions.
thanks mum and dad for taking the 📸!
We teamed up with @HASSELL_Studio to bring data to their latest research on the benefits and trade-offs of corridor design.

Corridor design is always a matter of weighing up competing objectives. Our tools compute & visualise these trade-offs, fast.
We are kicking off Explorations with @CivTechScotland today! We are delighted that #CivTech selected us as partners to explore 2 challenges: 🚲 cycling demand in rural communities AND 🏙 catalysing revitalisation in town centres
We can't believe our Exploration Stage starts next week!
From Monday, selected teams spend three weeks working with their Challenge Sponsors, the CivTech team and other stakeholders to develop and refine their proposals.
