More Course Details

Reforming the rules of a bureaucracy can seem like an impossible task, but properly done reform can improve the functions of local governments and provide lasting impacts for their communities. 

This course brings together planners from the public and private sectors to discuss new methods for bureaucratic reform using big data and smart policy. Learn about changes in New York City's labyrinthine bureaucracy, changes to Los Angeles's rules for developers, and advances in using big data to inform decision making.

Speakers offer tips, tricks, and lessons learned from their experiences greasing the wheels of bureaucracy.
