[Brian Wee]

Hi,

This event has a sliver of intersection with the scope of the Data Driven
Decision Making (D3M) for disaster planning and recovery that this cluster
deals in.  You can find out more at the event webpage

if the following excerpt interests you:

*Data-Driven City Planning & Policy*
City and local governments must make complex policy and planning decisions
while simultaneously facing pressure to become more economically efficient,
environmentally friendly, and socially responsive. The abundance of data
generated and collected by cities has tremendous potential to ground these
decisions in empirical evidence; however, practical, institutional, and
methodological challenges make widespread adoption of data-driven
governance difficult. We invite you to join the Committee on Applied and
Theoretical Statistics of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering,
and Medicine for a panel discussion featuring innovative research and
critical challenges in data driven policy and planning for cities.
