The availability of vast amounts of data from and about cities offers great potential to address urban challenges. However, large and serious questions challenge this potential. Do governments and civic institutions have the capacity to effectively gather, analyze, and interpret data to inform better urban planning and decision-making? What does it mean to utilize data in a fair and equitable way? Should data be used to inform AI and other cutting-edge technologies? The 2023 UIC Urban Forum addressed these questions and many more through its panel discussions and speakers with a range of perspectives on this issue.
Thank you to all of our speaker and guests for a great discussion at the 2023 UIC Urban Forum.
