“How can cities rise to meet big new challenges — and serve more and more people — with resources that are always stretched thin? By finding smart ways to use a resource that is always growing: Data.”

“in the urban, everything is calculable, quantifiable, programmable;
everything, that is, except the drama that results from the co-presence and re-presentation of the elements
calculated, quantified, and programmed.”— Henri Lefebvre

Circuits for access, or dispossession?
GTD.NYC @GDONOVAN
Proprietary ecologies are the multidimensional ecosystems of privatized data flows within which everyday life increasingly takes place.
… I theorize this as an “ecology” because the concept bridges an IT discourse of information systems that interact at various scales (i.e. information ecology) with a spatial understanding of the relations of production and reproduction at various scales (i.e. political ecology).”

YOUTH ARE THE CANARIES IN OUR CONTEMPORARY DATA MINE. Their situated resilience, distress, empathy & apathy are indicators of things to come.

“… it’s not a disproportionate percentage of those who witnesses and victims
describe as committing the murder.
In that case,incidentally, I think we disproportionately
stop whites too much and minorities too little.”

A settlement house is a community center with a stated purpose of “strengthen[ing] individual and neighborhood assets, and build[ing] collective capacity to address
community problems.” — Beverly Koerin

IV. a right to the smart city?
situating the settlement house as techno-social interface
GTD.NYC @GDONOVAN
The settlement house, rather than the new media district,
is a potentially potent techno-social interface that could reorient neoliberal modes of
knowing and belonging for marginalized youth in the smart city.
“… the right to the tools through which any citizen can systematically increase that stock of knowledge which they consider most vital to their survival as human beings and to their claims as citizens.”
The Right to the Smart City
“The right to the city is far more than the individual liberty to access urban resources: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city.”
