Part of the Esri Geospatial Cloud, ArcGIS Hub provides a two-way engagement platform to connect government and citizens.

65 percent of Americans search online for information about their government. Yet, less than 10 percent report finding what they need.

“Americans’ Views on Open Government Data”, 2015

Citizens need information. Leaders need input.

ArcGIS Hub can make a smart community even smarter, giving context and purpose to data. It organizes people, processes, and technology to meet the needs of citizens and governments.    

Translate aspirations into initiatives

With data-driven citizenship as a top priority, ArcGIS Hub engages governments and communities around policy initiatives to tackle pressing issues. This helps bring top priorities into focus.
