How to use data as a tool for empowerment rather than oppression.Big data can be used for good, from tracking disease to exposing human rights violations, and for bad, implementing surveillance and control. Data inevitably represents the ideologies of those who control its use; data analytics and algorithms too often exclude women, the poor, and ethnic groups. In Data Action, Sarah Williams provides a guide for working with data in more ethical and responsible ways. Williams outlines a method that emphasizes collaboration among data scientists, policy experts, data designers, and the public. The approach generates policy debates, influences civic decisions, and informs design to help ensure that the voices of people represented in the data are neither marginalized nor left unheard.

Delve into the intriguing world of digital urban futures through discussions initiated at a series of engaging salons at MIT's Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism, where experts from urban planning, filmmaking, virtual media, architecture, computer science, and activists explore, critique, and discuss the intersection of urbanism, technology, and design at a moment that AI is transforming the world. Openly available generative AI and algorithmic models have increased exponentially in the last decade, and these tools have already become embedded in our daily lives. City governments, urban designers, and planners are increasingly grappling with how to use them to design resilient urban futures. Digital urban processes are transforming social and spatial dynamics, shifting urban boundaries, enabling important socioeconomic mobility and engendering political collective capacities. Technology has always played a role in the development of urban environments since the earliest civilizations, and at this moment of mass technological change it is essential to redefine the role of technologies in urban environments and Digital Urbanism will lead the way in addressing these radical shifts. Digital Urbanism seeks to redefine the role of technology in the urban realm through a series of curated conversations on the future of technology in the urban realm where experts from urban planning, filmmaking, virtual media, architecture, computer science, and activists explore, critique, and discuss the intersection of urbanism, technology, and design. Five dinner conversations frame the dialog starting with the role of science fiction in creating new urban imaginaries, moving to a critique of technocentric urbanism, a discussion about the pedagogy needed for future professionals, then a focus on the evolving relations between climate research and computation, and finally the role of digital platforms and technology in urban environments and their ability strengthen civic engagement, public participation, and city services.
