Real-Time Data Fuels Smarter City


Managing daily operations and providing effective services in a city as massive, complex, and vibrant as Los Angeles is no easy task. When he took office, Mayor Eric Garcetti pledged to use data and technology to drive decisions about everything from jobs to transportation while delivering transparency, efficiency, and community engagement. But with more than 40 departments running on an array of disconnected technology platforms, the city struggled to fully tap into its collective expertise and knowledge.

“GeoHub will help us reinvent the way that we deliver services and broaden our ability to engage residents and businesses to improve the quality of life in their city.”

– Eric Garcetti, Mayor of the City of Los Angeles

Enter Los Angeles' GeoHub—a modern blueprint for how government should operate. Built on a location-enabled infrastructure, GeoHub weaves together more than 500 datasets—and growing—into a centralized business intelligence system. The hub allows staff, the public, and outside agencies to access, visualize, and analyze real-time data. City departments, the county, state, and federal government contribute data, with plans for nonprofits and universities to join. GeoHub points to the latest data wherever it is stored, giving all users access to the most current, authoritative information.

Just three months after launching the hub, Los Angeles unlocked insights into public safety, infrastructure, and quality of life. With GeoHub, the city is finding better ways to collaborate and deliver services while Angelenos have a smarter, more connected view of their city.
