Robert Ouellette

Founder, MESH Cities

AI and machine learning are becoming a regular part of daily life, and Robert is helping urban designers ride the waves of technology-driven change that are making cities both smarter and environmentally sustainable. Guided by answering the question of how these new, disruptive-to-the-old-order technologies can be used to transform cities into “cradle-to-cradle” livable environments, Robert is a leading voice in smart city research. By convening some of the globe’s leading design thinkers to contribute to MESH Cities’ forum and through his publications in leading Urban Design journals, he is potentially impacting the urban spaces inhabited by millions of Canadians and abroad.
