Civic life in the digital public square
with NYU’s Mona Sloane and Microsoft’s Warren Flood 

COVID-19 has had a profound effect on how communities connect. Shelter-in-place policies have shifted the majority of our social interactions online, driving the transition to the digital public square. What are the trends and opportunities for cities, planners and technologists as they seek to engage residents and support civic participation? On Episode 8 of Coast to Coast, we’ll discuss what civic participation looks like during a time of social distancing with NYU Alliance for Public Interest Technology Fellow Mona Sloane and Warren Flood, Microsoft’s corporate affairs manager for Detroit.
