33. • Open Data isn’t new. Quickly building products with it
is.
• The UK’s biggest challenges are where open data is
poor (homes, empty shops, education, health,
transport).
• Open Data lets us argue our case, and challenge our
own assumptions.
• Open Data informs consultations. It will let us build
better things together.
