Dashboards

Dashboards present and visualize key data, including trends and hotspots, in a single glance. The most common example in this subgenre are municipal dashboards, which display data indicators across a city for operators or citizens to monitor.

Suggested reading:

Heather Froehlich and Michael Correll question if dashboards are "acting not as aids to decision-making but as devices to be passively consumed or observed: spectacles to “take in” rather than tools to guide action".

Katya Abazajian asks, "When so many data dashboards offer few satisfying answers, we might wonder why local leaders default to building them again, and again, and again. Is it too late to give dashboards a new purpose?"

Govtech: Chief data officers gathering at the Bloomberg CityLab conference in Amsterdam recently looked back on all those data dashboards so quickly built during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
