An interesting concept that a fellow ITPer alumni, John Geraci created DIYCity.org .
As we enter a new political era, there is a consensus for collaboration. I love how DIYCity is a call to start a dialogue/collaborations b/w tech professionals to enhance the city landscape. It’s inspiring.
Here is their mission statement: Twitter bots, aggregators, social software, mobile apps – we use these things more and more in our daily routines to make our lives better. But can we also use them to remake our cities altogether? How can these technologies be applied to transform urban spaces, changing them from the centralized, hard-coded things they are today into finely-tuned, fluid, user-operated systems that are efficient, sustainable and fit for life in the 21st century?
