The Responsive City: Engaging Communities Through Data-Smart Governance
Channel: New America
Date: 2014-10-13

We live in a time of widespread lack of trust in government, yet we see digital technologies that are transforming our daily lives. Harvard University professors Susan Crawford and Stephen Goldsmith’s new book, The Responsive City, addresses this gap by showing that citizens and communities can work with government to help solve public problems.

This compelling guide to civic engagement and governance in the digital age helps municipal leaders link important breakthroughs in technology and data analytics with age-old lessons of small-group community input to create more agile, competitive and economically resilient cities. Join the Open Technology Institute and the Civic Innovation program at New America for an in-depth discussion with co-authors Susan Crawford and Stephen Goldsmith.
