Webinar: The Future is Caring About the Civic Experience
Wednesday, April 6 1 p.m. Eastern It's 2022 and the cities are concerned with IOT, smart cars, and micro-mobility. With all of this technology and enough innovation, we still have yet to figure out how we can empower and lift up the voice of community members to solve local urban issues. Why? One theory is because we have such a limited understanding of the lived experience. In this talk & conversation aimed at engaging Urban Planners, Designers & Consultants, the Founder of Seam Social Labs shares the history of human communication & storytelling, our common threads, and how we can transform the future of cities by caring about human narrative and the civic experience using technology. https://nextcity.org/events/detail/the-future-is-caring-about-the-civic-experience
