n Bloomberg Philanthropies recently
announced the first eight cities chosen
for its new $42 million initiative, What
Works Cities, to help mayors and planners make the most of big data. The
goal is eventually to help 100 midsized
U.S. cities with populations between
100,000 and 1 million by boosting
open government in municipalities
around the country, writing best practices guidelines and streamlining the
use of data as it applies to effective
policymaking, including planning and
financing for parks and recreation.
The first eight cities are Chattanooga,
Tennessee; Jackson, Mississippi; Kansas City, Missouri; Louisville, Kentucky; Mesa, Arizona; New Orleans,
Louisiana; Seattle, Washington; and

Tulsa, Oklahoma. Each will receive
local support and education in capitalizing on data to improve resident's
lives. What Works Cities will first review each city's current use of open
data and then design a customized
approach mayors can use to address
issues such as economic development,
public health, job creation and blight.
n A recent study by Jessica Finlay,
a University of Minnesota graduate
student, in conjunction with a team
from Vancouver, British Columbia,
shows that older adults may also benefit from more experience with nature. The study, which was published
in the journal Health and Place, found
that even relatively mundane experi-

ences, such as hearing the sound of
water or a bee buzzing among flowers, can have a tremendous impact
on overall health. Finlay found that
while younger people may use green
and blue spaces - environments with
running or still water - to escape and
rejuvenate from their busy work life,
the participants in her study, people
age 65 to 86, used nature to be active
physically, spiritually and socially in
later life. Many overcame barriers due
to chronic illness, disability and progressing old age to connect regularly
with green and blue spaces.
