Description: Through this Smart Cities grant, the City of Gainesville will work with local partners to host a month-long 'Smart City Pop-up Living Lab' to engage residents in accessing, understanding, and using Smart City data. This will include hands-on interactive exhibits that encourage thoughtful community dialogue on data, connected technologies, and quality of life. Physical exhibits will be made mobile when possible, and will be reproducible in a digital format for web-based engagement.
