This week on BTE - when emerging tech meets city planning…
This week we welcome a guest who’s credentials include being everything from an Urban Tech fellow at Cornell University to a multiple time startup founder and advisor to a repeat champion on Jeopardy. Greg Lindsay joins the gang to get into how cities (and by extension large groups of people) deal with technology being thrust upon them and along the way take a trip down memory lane to remember Foursquare, the introduction of Uber, and even Pokémon Go!
