Smart cities, smart citizens? | Bianca Wylie is co-founder of Digital Public, co-founder of Tech Reset Canada, and Senior Fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation. In this episode, she discusses with Andrew Keen the architecture and geography of citizenship from our countries and cities to cyberspace. She argues that digital technology has blurred the lines between public and private spheres with adverse effects for citizenship and democracy. The solution lies with the state, Wylie says, which needs to take responsibility for understanding and shaping technology’s impact on society.

Like it or not, data runs our increasingly digital world and we're still trying to figure out the implications of what that means for people's everyday lives. The systems by which data is collected, stored, secured, applied, categorized, and sold are labyrinthine which makes discussion of not only the solutions but the problems themselves difficult to parse. So to help us navigate this minefield, Bianca Wylie, Senior Fellow at CIGI, and Emily Royall, Smart City Coordinator for the City of San Antonio engage in a deep dive on what data solutions look like and how we talk about them. If you want to hear more from Emily and Bianca, they will be speaking at City of the Future. Go to https://cityofthefuture.io/ for registration and full lineup Music by bensound.com

They’ve both been incredibly polarizing.Energy and data both have economic and social benefits, and have been vital for work and our communities. But the energy and technology sectors have also been criticized for similar issues, from not doing enough for climate change to marginalizing people without voice and power.The world of social impact has found it particularly challenging to engage with people who believe radically different things — but now more than ever, it’s critical to go beyond our own bubble. So, how do we create lasting impact in an era of misunderstanding and polarization? We invited Open Government Activist, Bianca Wylie, and Director of Energy Futures Lab, Chad Park, for a juicy conversation on how changemakers can navigate polarizing issues such as data privacy and energy in an era of misunderstanding and division. Queue this up. You’ll learn a ton.
