SUMMARY:Leveraging Open Data to Build Safe\, Just\, and Thriving Communities
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering will host an evening convening from 4:00–6:00 PM\, followed by a light reception from 6:00–7:00 PM. The event brings together students\, researchers\, public-sector leaders\, and community partners to explore how open urban data informs public decision-making in New York City. The program highlights applied work at the intersection of data science\, governance\, and community outcomes\, with a focus on how publicly available datasets are interpreted and translated into policy and practice. \nThe formal program begins with remarks from CUSP leadership\, followed by 10-minute lightning talks from students and community collaborators showcasing projects grounded in NYC Open Data. These presentations demonstrate how datasets related to public safety\, housing\, health\, and civic accountability are analyzed\, contextualized\, and communicated. The evening continues with a moderated panel discussion led by CUSP’s Debanjan Roychoudhury. Speakers include Alaa Moussawi\, Chief Data Scientist for the New York City Council\, and Sandhya Kajeepeta\, Senior Researcher and Statistician at the Legal Defense Fund’s Thurgood Marshall Institute. The discussion will examine how open data shapes public narratives\, informs institutional decision-making\, and supports cross-sector collaboration. \nA reception will immediately follow the panel\, offering space for informal dialogue\, networking\, and continued cross-sector exchange. The convening is open to participants of all technical backgrounds and emphasizes thoughtful analysis\, responsible data use\, and real-world application within NYC governance systems.

SUMMARY:Reclaiming the Night: Urban Light Pollution\, Solutions\, and Open Data
DESCRIPTION:New York\, the city that never sleeps\, is too bright. Light pollution disrupts wildlife\, affects human well-being\, wastes money and energy\, contributes to climate change\, and blocks our view of the universe. But there are ways to fix it. In this workshop\, you will learn the basics of light pollution\, the solutions\, New York’s efforts to control it\, and available open datasets for measuring and mapping nighttime lights in the city and worldwide. This workshop is open to everyone who cares about the night. \nAbout the presenter:\nRuoyu Li: graduate student in urban data science at the NYU Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP); data analysis and social impact intern at DarkSky International; leader of DarkSky’s New York state chapter; treasurer of the NYU student chapter of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS); and an advocate for the dark sky movement for over a decade. \nCo-organizers: \n\nDarkSky New York;\nNYU Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP);\nAmerican Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) NYU Student Chapter
