Community Data Science
Confidently lead the way in data-driven decisions
Urban, suburban, rural and remote communities are increasingly inundated with vast amounts of data. This data is fast becoming a critical tool to help make communities of all sizes more sustainable, equitable and resilient.
Making data-driven, land-use infrastructure and policy decisions requires planners, engineers, local policy-makers and managers to understand the numerous options and design choices they face. This is where our Community Data Science program comes in.
