Knowledge Transfer, Social Engagement, and Culture
New technological solutions provide cities with the ability to safeguard their children’s educations and animate their streets to promote cultural sustainability. Better data collection methods and analysis software mean that city planners and municipal governments can study the patterns in their education system to pinpoint areas for improvement—like in Chicago where air quality monitors constantly check the daily index and alert high-risk asthmatic children when levels may be too high to attend. With the recent popularization of remote learning, just because a child cannot physically be present in school does not mean that they need to miss that day’s teachings. There are also opportunities for formative learning experiences for everybody outside the classroom through public art or cultural events. The ways in which we learn and pass on knowledge has been nothing short of transformed by communication technologies in the twenty-first century. With these changes come new opportunities to design our communities for sustainability. This chapter discusses and profiles the ways that technology has revolutionized three different dimensions of intellectual life—social media, education systems, and cultural institutions—and analyzes case studies that demonstrate how we can leverage technology to design a more sustainable world.
