CONNECTING TECHNOLOGY AND PLACE IN CITIES OF THE FUTURE

The University of Cincinnati’s new Digital Futures building is a state-of-the-art research facility that will be situated in Cincinnati’s emergent Innovation District. The Cincinnati Innovation District has the potential to act as a key public space for the surrounding neighborhood, and Digital Futures will be well-positioned to help communities tackle local challenges and improve city services. Impactful, community-engaged research projects could include the co-design of technology-forward pubic programming to bridge the digital divide, increase residents’ access to quality education, employment, and healthcare to ensure our neighbors' quality of life improves. Today, our expert panel will discuss the Cincinnati community, placemaking, and together, imagine ways that Digital Futures can be a place where technology and community intersect for the betterment of society.
