Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Big data and technology have the potential to make local municipalities more effective, safe and productive. But the full integration of internet into our infrastructure is decades away, and there are many obstacles –and ethical questions– along the way. Kojo explores “smart city” programs in our region, and the opportunities and risks they present.
Guests
- Roger Lewis Architect; Columnist, "Shaping the City," Washington Post; and Professor Emeritus of Architecture, University of Maryland College Park
