Yo Deshpande is the Technologist for the Public Realm in the Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics (MONUM). MONUM is the City of Boston’s civic research and design team, working with communities and city departments to explore, experiment with, and evaluate new approaches to government. Yo’s work crosses community empowerment and co-design, surveillance technology accountability, environmental sensing, and broadly how technology can make cities more connected and caring without compromising people’s freedoms. He practices Vipassana meditation and roots for the Celtics. Both are beloved rollercoasters.
