PhD Candidate Henry Tonks named 2022 MONUM Summer Fellow

The Initiative on Cities (IOC) Fellowship awards one Boston University graduate student the opportunity to spend the summer working with the City of Boston, within the Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics. The fellowship for 2022 has been awarded to PhD Candidate Henry Tonks, who will have the opportunity to explore an interest in public service and civic innovation while having a positive impact on the surrounding community.

The Office of New Urban Mechanics is Boston’s civic innovation team, responsible for promoting participatory urbanism, along with smarter city infrastructure and innovative service delivery. They are the catalyst and clearing house for civic innovation projects involving the City of Boston and their partners, from residents and community groups to universities, companies and other government agencies.
