Technology has profoundly impacted cities: they are more dynamic and active than ever before. Can we use this new technology and data to rise to the challenge of an urban planet? This fall, CURA will invite planners, storytellers, and urban scholars to share how they see technologies changing cities, and they use these technologies to guide cities to better outcomes. We will be focusing on how people move, plan, and engage in the new urban technology age.

Friday, December 22, 11am-12:30pm, Pomerene Hall [Partner Room], 1760 Neil Ave.
