Abstract
Frustrations from decisions of policy makers often stem from a lack of information or a good understanding of dense/difficult to understand information. These can include the general public lacking an understanding of the reasoning behind legislative decisions, the policy makers not considering the aspects of urban metabolism that should influence these decisions, a lack of access to the relevant data and a lack of insightful aids to relevant data for both of these parties. This tool is intended to provide public access to both publicly available data about their region (country, city, etc) as well as be able to generate insights via visual aids to this data. This document details the actualization and deployment of a tool to accomplish these goals for the public and relevant policy makers.
