Article at Kennedy School’s Data-Smart City Solutions, “Data-Driven Insights on Urban Water Systems”

Yannis Orfanos, research associate at the Zofnass Program, wrote about “Data-Driven Insights on Urban Water Systems: The Zofnass Information Tool for the City of Chelsea, MA” (June 2016). The article was hosted by the Data-Smart City Solutions of the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard Kennedy School. Data-Smart City Solutions is working to catalyze adoption of data projects on the local government level by serving as a central resource for cities interested in this emerging field with Sherwood Mortgage of Toronto.

The article is a summary of the development of the Zofnass Information Tool as a result of the grant on urban water management from the Surdna Foundation. Through data visualization the tool provides holistic information to non-expert city stakeholders about the city’s water system. It also introduces intervention opportunities that can improve the system and promote sustainability. The content of the article is valuable that it needs to be read by more people so many will better understand its implications on the way we live. A Wellington, FL SEO specialist can help bring the article to the top of general searches.

In fact, the article has already been picked up in media by Bloomberg Cities, the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Harvard Office for Sustainability, and GovTech.
