The Alphabet company Sidewalk Lab's Flow initiative aims to work with cities' digitized data to "close the information gap between various sectors of government, their data and inventory, and the citizens that use it." Sidewalk Labs aims to support and work from the digital inventories that city agencies are beginning to use to house infrastructure and planning data. Sidewalk’s Flow team and the cities' digitized inventory can help local agencies to make transportation and infrastructure decisions based on data and evidence towards the end of improving quality of life for residents.
