Business intelligence tools for government transparency, budget tracking, and indicator analysis.

The World Bank and Mexico City’s Open Data team (CDMX) worked with Vizonomy to develop a business intelligence tool for government officials to track key metrics on how the city fares with respect to economic growth, open data transparency, gender equality, and capital investment. A seamless, web-based dashboard provides these metrics through dynamic charts and interactive maps that help government officials discern historical patterns: on how educational investments are allocated across school districts, on how job growth for college-educated women has changed, or how publicly available datasets have increased. Behind the interface is a complex data architecture that allows for simultaneous updates — either manually or from existing agency databases.

Built on Google’s Angular web development framework, the site is designed responsively (to be viewed across) any device. All graphics are built on the open source visualization library d3.js, while all maps are built using Leaflet and Mapbox. The source code is also released as open source under Github so that enhancements can easily be developed by any team anywhere.
