Vernon L. Snoeyink Distinguished Lecture | The Bike Lane Wars: Civic Engagement and Social Media in Urban Design

Vernon L. Snoeyink Distinguished Lecture | The Bike Lane Wars: Civic Engagement and Social Media in Urban Design

Most research agrees that while social media promotes community engagement, it can also increase the spread of misinformation. There is less consensus in the literature on how much, and under what circumstances misinformation spreads. To examine the role of social media in urban design, I use recent dialogue on the addition of a bike lane in Washington DC.
