Congrats to both Jascha Franklin-Hodge (@jfh01.bsky.social) and the OpenMobilityFoundation ! Awesome news.

I’m committing to writing more, so here are some belated professional reflections on my first opportunity to work in one of my favorite places - India - in more than a decade!

Was great to collaborate w/ Story Bellows Cityfi. Her reflections on Indian smart cities: tech can improve shared streets; we need to share ideas; messaging is essential; procurement is a pain; Defining metrics isn’t easy; and culture-change is king medium.com/cityfi/6-thing…

I doubt that Juanita Abernathy’s death was the lead / or maybe even a story on the local news in New York or Chicago tonight. Thank you, #atlanta.

If I’ve learned anything in the last decade, it’s that we must focus on evolving organizational culture to realize the potential benefits of tech and innovation. Some thoughts on how to best do so, with lessons learned from City of Philadelphia, Brooklyn Public Library, and Cityfi

Happy stat of the day: there are 7x as many libraries in the USA as McDonalds 🤗

Maybe my favorite Cityfi tweet to date.

.@verizon forum highlights my favorite thing: how the intersection of technology and culture change can move the needle ... on public safety in this case... #MayorsDC20

Short term memory lapse: who was I JUST talking to abt how much longer Andy Byford was going to be able to stick around the MTA ? Whoever picked the under definitely won that bet...

Relevant beyond placemaking. Words of wisdom that should be put into practice across sectors.

i assume everyone's paying the person they asked for diversity advice the same rate as McKinsey

If I were pence or his agent or a trusted advisor, I would 100% be advocating to invoke 25th amendment. His speaker fees will skyrocket and legacy completely different. May be hated by the trump ppl, but would be a fascinating political move (for a guy I do not love).

Day-making news below!

Most excited by this news, and I'm saying y'all more often already. Welcome Andy Berke!

At City Hall I enjoyed working around a talented team that cared about a high quality of life and equity for the people who live in cities. Wanting that same experience led me to the incredible people at Cityfi

I've been hearing from friends whose kids go to highly-desirable schools in our district with Whiter, wealthier student bodies, about the fundraising messaging as the year begins. And I want to offer some nuance to one of the argument I've heard too often.

The Brooklyn Public Library crew is so deserving of this recognition. I remain so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have walked through those doors to work every morning.
