Sustainable City Making (one App at a time)
summary
Organizes hackathons that produce working apps in days, builds a thrift app that diverts bulky waste, pilots a Chilean laborer matchmaking app, and runs a waterfront living lab with sensors and an open API for real‑time environmental and tourism data. Connects developers to 850,000 smart meters for energy experiments, deploys a computer‑vision crowd counter reaching 95% accuracy at stadium scale, tests delivery drones and 3D‑printed housing (~€4,000), and shows which prototypes scale, which saved money, and which failed.
