On Monday, June 6, from 8 am to 6 pm, The Rockefeller Foundation co-sponsored a one-day forum hosted by the National Building Museum to explore the intersection of data, technology, and cities. The forum will engage thought leaders, government officials, and the public to think about how to use existing and emerging technologies to improve our built environment. From the historic National Building Museum Hall in Washington, D.C., the forum was broadcast live.
