Climate Change and Cities Datathon: Public Presentations and Judging

Description

This weekend, five teams of scholars, thinkers, writers, and practitioners will convene to participate in the Institute for Public Knowledge’s first Datathon. The theme, Climate Change and Cities, asks these groups to think about the nature of both meteorological and social data, and to consider ways that these different kinds of data can be used to help us better understand the relationship between climate change and our cities, and to help inform the decisions we will make as we plan for our collective future.

At noon on Sunday, March 10th, these five teams will present their findings in a session that is open to the public. A winning team will be selected by a panel judges:

Dalton Conley, University Professor at NYU

Duncan Watts, Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research

Maryam Hariri, City Planner, NYC Department of City Planning
