Closing Discussion

with Bianca Wylie

Brainstorming, Outcomes, and Next Steps

Full group discussion 

Questions to consider:

• What is unique about “urban communication” based on the conversations we’ve had today? 

• What is “urban” and what does it mean to study “urban and urbanism” in the digital city?

• What does urban communication “do” that other subdisciplines don’t? 

• If we had robust resources to build a network of urban communication scholars and scholarship, what would you want to see?

• What types of outcomes would you like to see from this post-conference?

• How would you like to see these conversations continue (at ICA or otherwise?)

Closing Remarks and Thanks
