This centralized data intelligence platform houses a wealth of information on a variety of topics ranging from public services and climate data to finances, health, and education. The Citizen Portal is designed to promote transparency, accountability, and civic engagement. By making data readily available to the public, the Portal informs and empowers citizens, enabling them to make informed decisions about their community.
