Data-Driven Decision-Making and Policy Development

This report compiles best practices of policy tools created through meaningful data and outlines the Urban95 policy tool.

Local administrations can increasingly draw on data to decide how they provide urban services, and strengthen communications with the populations they serve. This publication surveys examples of best practice from around the world and explores the development of the Urban95 Data-Driven Policy Tool to map the situations of families with young children and the services available to them in three Turkish cities: Istanbul, Izmir and Gaziantep. Published by TESEV (Turkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation) and available in Turkish below.

The Urban95 platform displays the types of social assistance and services of local administrations geared towards children and parents in three project cities (Istanbul, Izmir, Gaziantep) on maps which depict the demographic and social characteristics of these cities.
