Full Summary:
Omar Isaac Asensio, assistant professor in the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy, was recently selected to work on one of four projects for the Georgia Smart Communities Challenge.
Georgia Smart Communities ChallengeOmar Isaac Asensio, assistant professor in the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy, was recently selected to work on “Albany Housing Data Analytics and Visualization Initiative for the City of Albany,” one of four projects for the Georgia Smart Communities Challenge. The Challenge is a Georgia Tech-led initiative that brings together industry and public agencies to support large and small neighborhoods in their efforts to implement cutting-edge smart technologies.
The Albany initiative seeks to bridge the gap between available data and the need for a comprehensive, flexible, and accurate database to effectively manage the Albany housing inventory. The end result will allow a better measurement of public funds allocated for housing and neighborhood structure repairs and enhancements, using an automated data analytics and visualization tool. The initiative also allows the city and its collaborators to engage with residents and become part of the solution to the communities’ housing issues.
For this initiative, Asensio will be collaborating with the Department of Community and Economic Development; Dougherty County; Albany, Georgia Initiative for Community Housing; and Fight Albany Blight.
