Open Data Portal
Open data
Use of data of public interest at citizens disposal.
Since the approval of the Law on Transparency, Access to Public Information and Good Government of Catalonia, at the end of 2014, citizens have the right to know and to request public information. Barcelona City Council has an open data repository, the Open Data BCN portal, which today includes more than 450 sets of data on population, health, economy or education, among many others, and which can be found in reusable and downloadable formats.
The fact that citizens have open data means empowering them. Anyone can actively dig into any data to decide what personal or professional decisions they want to make and how they want to do it.
