Tada - Data Disclosed
Tada! Data. They are a promise for life in the city. With data we can tackle major problems of contemporary cities making them cleaner, safer, healthier, more habitable. With the use of data, it can be achieved. But, only as long as people maintain control over data, and not the other way around. Designing a digital city is a team effort: companies, government, urban communities and citizens. We take action together, we benefit together. That is why we have set the following shared principles and agreements. We want to be a leading example in this for all other digital cities spread across the globe. Tada! Join us in showing that we can make them wiser too by signing the manifesto at www.tada.city Amsterdam aims to become leading example for responsible data usage Data management is often subject of debate and is starting to raise more and more questions, e.g. regarding its ethical use, transparency, responsibility, ownership and controllability. Amsterdam as an innovator is aiming to fulfill a leading role in the world of data and technology. The Amsterdam Economic Board is requesting all of their partners that contribute to the digital city to sign the ‘Data Disclosed’ manifesto, and to announce and take concrete steps in the responsible handling of data. Amsterdam itself will take the first step. By doing so, the innovative metropolis is trying to convey the message and take a leading role in this global campaign. Under the slogan ‘Tada’ – Data Disclosed’, the city is campaigning and, along with this, developing operational tools. **Franc Weerwind, mayor of Almere**: “The Amsterdam story has been welcomed with open arms and followed by all participating parties. What appears to be especially appealing is the positive angle. Data is increasingly being associated with monitoring, control and suspicion, but we’ve turned it around. Transparency, accountability and ethics could be promising design-principles. Clarity about data could also be a major driving force for business and reputation.” [Amsterdam Economic Board — Manifest tada, duidelijk over data](https://vimeo.com/240813658) #### Smart Stories Check the article about Tada featured in our online magazine 'Smart Stories': [![](https://api.amsterdamsmartcity.com/img/update/content-images/amsterdamsmartcity.com-aef2c318ce89eb925402c60fa49e53c540a5aac0.jpg?w=615&fit=contain&s=adbdb8b42e24e192e3686ce2e4b9fca4)](https://www.smartstories.nl/16.html)
