In this episode, Belal Aftab, Mayor of the City of Saratoga, California, USA, explores how data-driven leadership can shape more resilient and connected communities. The conversation covers traffic safety and neighbourhood priorities, breaking down data silos for better decision-making, and preparing a hillside city for wildfires, earthquakes, and other climate-related risks. Our guest reflects on revitalising a volunteer-spirited downtown, tackling housing affordability in an ultra-expensive market, and why genuine community engagement and stronger communication tools are essential for balanced change.
