Data for All: A Quest for digital autonomy

Municipalities as Data Stewards: Using Data for the Public Good


Listen Later

Can Your City Handle Your Data? Trust is the First Step in Digital Governance.

Cities and regions collect vast amounts of data—but how can they use it responsibly while protecting citizens’ rights and building public trust? In this episode, we explore how municipalities can develop and implement effective data policies to serve their communities. We also dive into the concept of municipalities as data stewards and why local governments play a key role in ethical and transparent data governance.

Why It Matters

From smart city initiatives to public service improvements, local governments rely on data to make better decisions. But without clear policies, there’s a risk of mistrust, misuse, or inefficiency. How can municipalities ensure data works for the people, not against them?

Our Guest: Arnaud Willaime, Data Protection Officer Brest métropole.
