Together with some great collaborators at the UM School of Information, I’m helping with another edition of the #micities, a one-day conference planned for Saturday, October 8th in Ann Arbor, MI. First held in 2014, this event focuses on the impact of new information technologies on cities, including topics like digital participation, civic technology, smart cities, and planning technologies. We have published the final program for this year’s event, which will feature a keynote by Anthony Townsend, the author of the 2013 book Smart Cities: Big Data, Civic Hackers, and the Quest for a New Utopia. Space is limited, if you’d like to attend, register now!
