I’ll be participating this weekend in “City by Numbers: Big Data and the Urban Future,” a symposium at Pratt, co-organized by Places Journal (which recently relaunched as a beautifully designed independent website — have you seen it?!?!). The event runs from 9:30am to 6pm, and is free and open to the public.
I’m simply moderating a panel — but I’m excited to be in the company of such an illustrious group of people:
- Jessie Braden, Director of Spatial Analysis and Visualization Initiative (SAVI) Lab, Senior Fellow, Pratt Center
- David Burney, FAIA, Professor and Director of Placemaking degree program, Pratt Institute; former New York City Commissioner, Department of Design and Construction
