While the City of Austin has previously passed camping bans and created city-wide outreach programs, Hammonds says it’s far too small a budget for an undertaking of this size.At SXSW interactive, workshops such as "Save Your City: Design the Future," shared technology between University of Texas-Austin’s Good Systems and HafenCity University’s CityScience Lab in Hamburg, Germany.
