Better Use of Data - GLA Consultation Response

The GLA strongly believes that Government needs to do more to unlock the power of data, helping organisations to make better decisions and operate more efficiently. Greater sharing of information between public authorities will allow them to improve the lives of citizens and help the economy flourish. To this end, in March 2016, the GLA launched the London City Data Strategy. The aim of this strategy is to give London the most dynamic and productive city data market in the world by reducing friction in the sharing and value-driven exploitation of city data to a minimum. The GLA seeks to recognise city data as part of the capital’s infrastructure, using it to save money, incubate innovation, and drive economic growth, helping London to achieve global renown for data impact. Within this Strategy, we have committed to - as a priority action - pushing for broad access to data across government departments e.g. HMRC and DWP) for London, to overcome issues which currently prevent further data sharing opportunities outside departmental silos and which stand in the way of value creation.

大伦敦市管理局（GLA）坚信，政府有必要采取更多措施以释放数据的力量，助力组织做出更优决策并提高运营效率。公共机构之间信息共享的深化将有助于提升市民生活品质，并促进经济繁荣。为此，2016年3月，大伦敦市管理局推出了《伦敦城市数据战略》。该战略旨在通过将城市数据的共享和基于价值的利用摩擦降至最低，打造全球最具活力和高效的城市数据市场。大伦敦市管理局致力于将城市数据视为首都基础设施的重要组成部分，利用其节约成本、孵化创新、推动经济增长，助力伦敦在全球数据影响力领域赢得盛誉。在此战略框架下，我们将推动政府各部门（如英国税务海关总署（HMRC）和英国养老金和福利部（DWP））对数据的广泛访问作为优先行动，以克服目前阻碍跨部门数据共享的障碍，并消除价值创造的障碍。
