UrbanTech Premium Articles Launch
Lacuna Technologies shares why cities need better data to promote equity and privacy
Hello! John, here. I wanted to give you a quick heads up that we officially launch UrbanTech’s first subscriber-only article that is only available to UrbanTech Premium Subscribers tomorrow morning.
The article features a conversation that I had last week with Lacuna Technologies, which focuses on building digital tools that allow cities to use data technologies better while simultaneously promoting urban equity issues and preserving the privacy of local citizens.
I sat down with Lacuna’s CEO Hugh Martin and a new member of Lacuna’s Board of Directors, Rashida Richardson. Rashida joined the Lacuna team last month and is a lawyer, researcher, and advocate specializing in race, emerging technologies, and the law.
Before joining Lacuna, Richardson was the Director of Policy Research at the AI Now Institute. Prior to AI NOW, Rashida worked as legislative counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union of New York (NYCLU).
Hugh and Rashida are incredibly passionate about urban tech issues and are major advocates for helping to make our cities better places to live by harnessing innovation.
Please consider signing up for an early-bird subscription to UrbanTech to gain access to this story and help us build out the future of UrbanTech.
Hope you have a great Sunday!!
