Galician cities and institutions publish a lot of public data: bus positions, census figures, school boundaries, planning records. Most of it stays in spreadsheets and PDFs that are hard to use day to day.

Cidade Labs exists to turn that data into maps and tools anyone can open in a browser, for free. The model is borrowed and inspired from civic-technology offices within the City of New York and BetaNYC: build well-made, open-source tools on public data, and give them away.
