"Albuquerque will begin work with the Behavioral Insights Team to explore how to use behavioral economics and psychology to engage residents and improve public services," says Brody. "They'll be able to learn from the work in New Orleans who are now using texting campaigns to prompt low-income individuals who are disengaged from the healthcare system to sign up for free medical checkups."
Along with initiative and partner collaboration, Albuquerque will join a dedicated Slack channel to engage with cities across the country further along in the process.
"People talk about how very little happens in government," says Brody. "Cities have told us how quickly they can make change when they have support. They surprise themselves by how much they can make happen." |
