Last week the city of Pittsburgh launched the “Pittsburgh Roadmap for Inclusive Innovation,” a strategic plan designed to support equitable access to technology, city resources, and information. Aimed to improve the quality of life for all residents, the Roadmap is described to encompass more than 100 projects and initiatives the City of Pittsburgh will undertake in the coming months and years.
“To be truly successful, Pittsburgh’s technology boom has to be accessible for all. This plan will enable us to be a model for cities around the country in providing equitable services and opportunities for residents and businesses in every neighborhood citywide,” said Mayor William Peduto during the launch.
In the planning stages since the Mayor took office in 2014 and created the Department of Innovation and Performance under the leadership of Debra Lam, work has been underway to develop the inclusive plan through community engagement, extensive research and analysis of the City as well as best practices from around the world.
