Description
In this episode of the Data-Smart City Pod, Professor Steve Goldsmith interviews Kelly Jin, Vice President for Community and National Initiatives at the Knight Foundation and former Chief Analytics Officer for the city of New York. They discuss the recent Infrastructure Innovation Summit, cohosted by the Knight Foundation and Data-Smart City Solutions at Harvard University, where folks from cities across the country convened with leaders in the federal, private, and academic spheres to discuss the future of urban environments. Jin also talks about why cities must start with the question "what are we trying to achieve?" before collecting data and implementing new technology, in order to remain resident-focused.Music credit: Summer-Man by KetsaAbout Data-Smart City SolutionsData-Smart City Solutions, housed at the Ash Center at Harvard Kennedy School, is working to catalyze the adoption of data projects on the local government level by serving as a central resource for cities interested in this emerging field.
