Count Me In: Walking and the City | https://count-me-in.eventbrite.com
An afternoon discussion and poster session, December 11, 2014, 2-5pm
Presented by students, faculty and staff from the Global Urban Humanities program, CITRIS, BCNM, and the CITRIS Social Apps Lab
During Fall 2014, a team of 23 graduate students and two professors worked with the city of San Leandro to develop digital tools to improve the way city residents live, work, and play together. At this event, city officials and industry leaders will present the challenges of planning for and encouraging urban mobility, and the teams will discuss their field research and present designs that respond to these concerns through urban renewal projects. Core topics include pedestrian safety, urban beauty, and public transit optimization. The teams’ projects showcase how sensor data can facilitate existing city initiatives, articulate urban challenges, and validate the impact of urban renewal designs. Special guests include Bay Area business leaders, innovation officers, design agencies, and community organizations who will present feedback to the research teams in this public discussion.
Partners include: Kaiser Permanente, San Francisco Office of Innovation, City of San Leandro
