A year ago, the Métropole de Lyon brought together nine municipalities around its “Open Data des Communes” project. After a successful first year in terms of sharing public data, Emeline Baume, Vice-President of Lyon Metropolis in charge of the economy, employment, trade, digital and public procurement, launched the 12 January the class of 2023, with the membership of six municipalities : Bron, Corbas, Neuville-sur-Saône, La Tour-de-Salvagny, Pierre-Bénite and Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d’Or.
For more than ten years, the Métropole de Lyon has been investing in the opening of public data and has sought to mobilize all the players in the territory in this process. The first edition of the “Open Data of the Communes”, initiated in January 2022, has made it possible to speed up the process and develop the sharing of public data with citizens. At the time the municipalities of Caluire-et-Cuire, Dardilly, Écully, Lyon, Rillieux-la-Pape, Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d’Or, Saint-Genis-Laval, Vaulx-en-Velin and Villeurbanne had agreed to participate. Several dozen datasets have thus been published or updated on the site. data.grandlyon.com, and have been the subject of tens of thousands of consultations. These datasets could also be used by applications, such as the Toodego platform, or municipal websites, and listed on the national data.gouv.fr platform.
Above all, this approach has made it possible to trigger a dynamic of exchange and sharing between the various municipalities of the territory and the establishment of a permanent monitoring committee which will continue to bring together, twice a year, all the communities having benefited from the service offer in order to discuss best practices and advances in open data in metropolitan France.
In 2023, six new municipalities will join the open data of Lyon Metropolis: Bron, Corbas, Neuville-sur-Saône, La Tour-de-Salvagny, Pierre-Bénite and Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d’Or .
In addition, work will continue on the data already opened by the municipalities that have been the subject of previous support (polling offices, parks and gardens, public toilets, PMR parking, free notice boards, public facilities, markets public and subsidies…).
For Emeline Baume, “ The open data policy carried out by the Metropolis of Lyon with the municipalities of the territory is essential in several respects: transparency of public action, information of citizens or even reliability of digital services”. “ Beyond the accessibility of public data, the first edition of the Open Data of the Communes generated a real dynamic of sharing and exchange between the participants. The membership of six municipalities for this second edition testifies to the territory’s commitment to this process of sharing and will allow the work started to be continued. .»
