Building on her post-doctoral fellowship on Platform Urbanism, Sarah supported the ideation and development of data governance and engagement strategies aligned to the ambition of the NSW Government to establish White Bay as an innovation precinct.
The concept of 'data smart' refers to the strategic design of data governance and collaboration partnerships that ensure a precinct is able to grow and develop with intelligent data inputs from key tenants and precinct partners. The conceptual framework for 'data smart developments' derived from previous work undertaken by Sarah for the Committee for Sydney, as well as her own post-doctoral research into the governance of city data.
