Research Assistant; UNC Chapel Hill Department of City & Regional Planning
Allison is a Research Assistant at UNC Chapel Hill Department of City & Regional Planning, and a blogger for LivingLabs Global. She was also the co-founder and coordinator for the Orange Bike Project (August 2006-2009) in Austin, TX.
Last week we announced the winning showcases for 21 participating cities in the Living Labs Global Award (LLGA) 2012 competition. Of those awarded, one company left the Rio Conference as the selected solution for not just one, but for four different cities in this year’s awards. That company, Connecthings, was chosen for its showcase “Contactless tags to bridge real and physical worlds“. Barcelona, Derry-Londonderry, Hamburg, and Rio de Janeiro all selected Connecthings’ project for a pilot release within their cities over the next year.
