These specialisms work in harmony with a shared mission to make all products and services as inclusive, accessible and user centric as possible. The Mayor of London's Data for London Board has been established to improve the flow and usage of data to serve citizens, solve city challenges, and promote productivity - putting data into the hands of those who can make a positive difference for London. The Board brings together data leaders from across public, private and civil society and includes expertise in the fields of data science, data ethics, smart cities, cyber security, public engagement and data journalism. Inside the GLA, the Data for London team are working to 'fix the plumbing' for the data ecosystem in London.
