Doug Young
Data Cluster (Scottish Cities Alliance)
Doug Young works with the Scottish Cities Alliance to coordinate the Cities’ Data Cluster, a working group with representation across Scotland’s seven cities, with the goal of driving forward the publication of open data by the cities to boost transparency and drive innovation, as well as improving the use and re-use of data within local authorities more generally.
The Data Cluster sits under the wider 8th City ERDF Programme, working to deliver a range of smart cities projects across the cities, with data playing a central role throughout.
Prior to his current role with the Alliance, Doug worked on open data and smart cities projects at Perth & Kinross Council.
