Equity priorities and privacy principles guide the Smart City PDX program
Smart City PDX has developed two foundational documents to guide our work. These are the Smart City PDX Priorities Framework and the City of Portland Privacy and Information Protection Principles.
The purpose of these documents is to help prioritize projects to reduce inequities for people who have been left behind in our city, specifically people of color and people with disabilities. We believe that data and technology projects must meet the needs of our community.
The equity priorities and the privacy principles will give the SCPDX team a decision-making roadmap to protect people’s privacy and improve our city’s resiliency. Measurable community benefits also connect to progress on City of Portland equity goals.
Smart City PDX projects and policies must respond to Portlander's needs and feedback. Take a look at our current projects to learn more.
Smart City PDX and Familias en Acción teamed up to deliver an interactive workshop on actions to prepare for wildfire emergencies and smoke impacts. This included how to find reliable, accessible information and resources about air quality and emergency preparedness in Spanish.
