Hi, there! We are a team of civic technologists and built environment enthusiasts from Harvard and MIT. Our work on mapping over-tourism in Venice is supported by Prof. Sarah Williams (Director of the Civic Data Design Lab), the MIT Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP), and the Harvard Computer Science Supervised Reading and Research Program (CS91).

We want to thank Prof. Sarah Williams, Prof. Larry Vale, Prof. Zach Lamb, Prof. Paola Malanotte Rizzoli, Prof. Nico Ventura, and Prof. Margherita Turvani (IUAV) and the Civic Data Design Lab members for the insightful feedback and inspiring conversations on this research project.
