SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): 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.
