Actualizing The Technoprogressive City in Mamdani’s New York

Matteo sits down with Julie Swoope, tech worker, organizer, and member of NYC-DSA Tech Action, to explore what a technoprogressive city could look like in practice. The conversation centers on expanding the size and scope of public-sector tech, building a municipal data commons, and other alternative modes of technological development and technopolitics after the unprecedented opening created by Mamdani’s sweeping victory in New York City.
