Using Technology to Build Compassion

Published:28 September 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

Technology is an incredible enabler for change. However, when we consider the uses of technology in an urban or community context, we need to take a human-centered approach that puts the needs of people ahead of the dependence on business models, revenue, etc. In this talk, I'll discuss the people-first approach to technology and design that the Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics has embraced to bring transformative change to the City of Boston.
