City agencies have access to a wealth of data and statistics reflecting
every part of urban life. But as data analyst Ben Wellington suggests in

He shows how a combination of unexpected questions and smart data crunching
can produce strangely useful insights, and shares tips on how to release
large sets of data so that anyone can use them.
