Jonathan and all,

You may have already seen this but this blogpost deals at least indirectly with some of the “open government” issues you are asking about.

Good luck with the project,

Hi all,

Open Knowledge is currently doing some research into city level open data initiatives.

If you know of good examples that highlight the potential social, democratic and environmental impacts of open data in cities - please do add them here <https://discuss.okfn.org/t/social-democratic-and-environmental-impact-of-open-data-in-cities/1383/1> :

https://discuss.okfn.org/t/social-democratic-and-environmental-impact-of-open-data-in-cities/1383/1

We'd also be interested in hearing about potential risks and unexpected consequences of open data initiatives at city level.

Finally, we'll be compiling a list of further resources and readings on this topic - so we would love to hear of suggestions for reports, papers, case studies, blog posts or other material.

I'll keep the forum thread updated as we progress!

All the best,

Jonathan
