AI-Powered E-Waste Solutions for Post-Industrial Cities

Description

David Park, the director of data and business analytics at the National League of Cities and a visiting fellow at the SNF Agora Institute, will give a talk titled "AI-Powered E-Waste Solutions for Post-Industrial Cities" for the SNF Agora Institute.

Park will present his groundbreaking work developing an open-source AI tool designed to help resource-constrained cities like Baltimore tackle the growing e-waste crisis. With Americans generating 47 pounds of electronic waste per person annually, Baltimore alone faces an estimated 13,300 tons of e-waste yearly—representing both a significant environmental challenge and a $12 million economic opportunity.  Come learn how AI can empower local governments to transform environmental challenges into economic opportunities while fostering community development and democratic engagement.

This event is both in person and virtual; location details and the Zoom link will be sent to registrants the day before the event.
