Use Cambridge's open data to help our city come up with innovative solutions to its biggest challenges. This dataset lists city issues that you can help us solve by analyzing or hacking on our open data. It's certainly not an exhaustive list, but we hope it will at least point you in the right direction. Feel free to reach out at OpenData@cambridgema.gov with questions or ideas. Thanks for your help. We're glad you're on our team!

This dataset contains all of the ideas (projects) proposed by community members about how they think the City should spend a given year’s Participatory Budgeting funds. Each summer, community members submit ideas. Each fall, volunteer Budget Delegates research the ideas, evaluating each one based on feasibility, need, and impact. The Delegates ultimately develop about 20 final projects for the public to vote on in December of each year.
