About MESH Cities
This site is a collaborative work. We invite participation.
MESH Cities explores the wireless systems empowered, 21st Century city through the eyes of its super-users. These are the people who are embracing the new communications and infrastructure tools that will determine the ultimate livability of the modern city. The growing ubiquity of high-speed wireless connections allows people to experience the city in ways never before possible. More than that, they can contribute their ideas about how to make our cities more accommodating and responsive .
Robert Ouellette, the founder of MESH Cities, would like to thank the many designers, architects, engineers, artists, and users of MESH Cities. Your contributions are improving our world.

In 2006, he was an invited respondent at the U.N.’s Sustainable Cities conference. He writes a column on architecture, design, and politics for the National Post.

Trained as an architect, he also holds an MBA from the Ivey School of Business and is a member of the Information Architects Institute.
