Boston to Share Data with Six Cities

Boston is one of seven major cities in the United States, which will share data and software applications to promote innovation and cost efficiencies. By leveraging one another’s efforts, these cities will be able to innovate faster, gauge performance against their peers and ultimate benefit the citizens by improved services at lower cost. The other six cities include New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle. The group will be known as the G7 Group of Cities. It has already established ties with the President Obama’s technology team and will work closely with the federal government’s data.gov portal.
