MONUM's Cultivating Innovation Projects

We are driving a culture of experimentation and collaboration to drive innovative solutions for urban challenges.

What the Tech

We made a video series exploring the technology on Boston's streets.

Inspired by food trucks, our bright and friendly mobile City Hall truck is about serving City residents where they live, work, and play.

Digital Trust for Places and Routines

What if you could learn about the technology around you just by scanning a QR code?
