TAMPA, Fla. – Mayor Jane Castor has been chosen to join the Bloomberg Philanthropies City Data Alliance, joining forces with 22 other mayors from regions including North America, South America, and the Caribbean.
Through this Alliance, Tampa will receive support in operational and technical areas, focusing on using data and artificial intelligence to evaluate community needs, enhance municipal services, and establish policies.
These efforts are aimed at improving government operations in areas such as affordable housing and public safety.
Mayor Castor and her counterparts will participate in a two-day summit starting today, June 27, hosted at Johns Hopkins University. During this event, the newly inducted program mayors—representing nine countries and over eight million residents—will collaborate with international mayors and experts in data, innovation, technology, and urban policy.
