About the Lab
The Rutgers Urban and Civic Informatics Lab aims to research and build capacity in leveraging technology and data analytics to address grand challenges facing global cities. Our vision is to support socially-just, environmentally resilient, and healthy cities.
Through emerging technologies and data-driven decision-making, and by working with academic institutions, and government agencies, industry and nonprofit organizations, we hope to impact the future of work and society in cities and to encourage a dialog on critical issues relating to automation, AI, ethics, and information privacy.
