For me there is a big intersection with the reproducibility movement in academia. It might even be a better metaphor in some ways than the startup metaphor they chose in this article. In practice a lot of municipal analysis is done by a vanishingly small number of city staff or consultants--I mean people who really understand what's going on. Charts and graphs are made and embedded into various reports, plans, and political platforms with very little provenance as to how they came up with the figures / graphs / maps. My dream as a quanty urban planner is to see more governments release planning docs and reports, with linked analysis and data, on sites like github--maybe even as a Jypyter notebook or something.
