Abstract
Despite the recognized benefits of visual analytics systems in supporting data-driven decision-making, their deployment in realworld civic contexts often faces significant barriers. Beyond technical challenges such as resource constraints and development complexity, sociotechnical factors-including organizational hierarchies, misalignment between designers and stakeholders, and concerns around technology adoption hinder their sustained use. In this work, we reflect on our collective experiences of designing, developing, and deploying visual analytics systems in the civic domain and discuss challenges across design and adoption aspects. We emphasize the need for deeper integration strategies, equitable stakeholder engagement, and sustainable implementation frameworks to bridge the gap between research and practice.
