CityViz Data Sources
CityViz data platform solves some of the major challenges in using data to support economic development activities, including collecting data from various data sources into a central repository and automatically keeping it all up to date.

CityViz Hight Level Architecture
All datasets that are included in the application out of the box are automatically updated for client organizations by using automated procedures. As such, they do not require manual intervention by either the client organization or CityViz technical support. This keeps both CityViz Data Portal and CityViz Embeddable Widgets updated whenever underlying data is updated.
