So excited about this! I have been working as a Data Fellow to open source the Protocol and it's open now! 🎉 The repo includes guides and sample data to help people measure public life and make better decisions for cities. And learn from each other!

Many cities have taken a zero-sum approach to clearing #publicspaces of informal workers with little or no dialogue, partnership, or understanding of on-the-ground realities. We unpack why these policies don't work: ow.ly/8SRC30nuXfP
