NEW URBAN MECHANICS

New Urban Mechanics is a network of civic innovation offices. Across the network, we explore how new technology, designs and policies can strengthen the partnership between residents and government and significantly improve opportunity and experiences for all. While the language may sound new, the principles of New Urban Mechanics – collaborating with constituents, focusing on the basics of government, and pushing for bolder ideas – are not. Currently, there are three offices tha... t are part of the New Urban Mechanics network. There are Mayor’s Offices of New Urban Mechanics in Boston and Philadelphia. These City-funded offices serve as the in-house research & development group for Mayor Walsh and Mayor Nutter, respectively. There is also an Office of New Urban Mechanics housed at Utah Valley University, supporting innovation efforts across a range of municipalities in the Provo-Orem metropolitan area.
