The rise of open data in the public sector has sparked innovation,
driven efficiency, and fueled economic development. While still
emerging, we are seeing evidence of the transformative potential of
open data in shaping the future of our civic life, and the
opportunity to use open data to reimagine the relationship between
residents and government, especially at the local level. As we look
ahead, what have we learned so far from open data in practice and
how we can apply those lessons to realize a more promising future
for America's cities and communities?
Edited by Brett Goldstein, former Chief Data Officer for the City
of Chicago, with Code for America, this book features essays from
over twenty of the world's leading experts in a first-of-its-kind
instructive anthology about how open data is changing the face of
our public institutions.

"As an essential volume for anyone interested in the future of
governance, urban policy, design, data-driven policymaking,
journalism, or civic engagement, "Beyond Transparency" combines the
inspirational glow and political grit of Profiles in Courage with
the clarity of an engineer's calm explanation of how something
technical actually works. Here are the detailed how-to stories of
many members of the first generation of open government pioneers,
written in a generous, accessible style; this compilation presents
us with a great deal to admire, ample provocation, and wise
guidance from a group of remarkable individuals."
-Susan Crawford, author of Captive Audience
"Just as he did during his time in my administration, Goldstein
has brought together industry leaders to discuss issues of

work to make open government a reality across the country."
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel, City of Chicago
"A must-read for anyone who is passionate about what open data can
do to transform city living."
- Boris Johnson, Mayor of London
