This week is Digital Capital Week, and today’s theme is Media 2.0, meaning there are a lot of events about the future of media including a few where I’ll be speaking.

From 1:30 to 3:30 this afternoon, I’ll be joining folks from OCTO, DDOT, the Post, and OpenPlans for a panel discussion on “Online Engagement and Sustainable Urban Mobility.” A number of breakout discussions will follow, facilitated by folks from WMATA, the Office of Planning, Development Seed, OpenPlans, Prince of Petworth and FixMyCity DC.

It’s at EMBARQ, the World Resources Institute’s “center for sustainable transport,” 10 G Street, NE next to Union Station.

And this evening, ReadySetDC is holding another of their “Art of the Blog_” discussions, where I will discuss urban development and blogging.

That event is 6-8 pm at the H Street Pop-Up Lab, another experiment in “Temporary Urbanism” where with the consent of the DC Government, a vacant library kiosk at 13th and H, NE will become a creating and meeting space for Digital Capital Week.

Finally, next week I’m joining Virginia Tech’s Ralph Buehler for a panel on “Smart Mobility for the 21st Century” organized by the Goethe-Institut, Heinrich Böll Foundation, and WABA. That’s 6:30-8:30 (with my panel at 7) at the Goethe-Institut, 812 7th Street, NW.
