Goal

The goal of the workshop is to establish a shared body of interesting research challenges, which would feed into the contemporary discussion of the ‘Smart city’.

Some of the key challenges and issues are:

How do we see ‘smartness’ (ie. Computerized information feedback loops) in public space ?

Which new types of functions does ‘smart’ public spaces afford?

How do people experience the changes made by new technologies in the city ?

How can we develop new tools and techniques helping to design new more interesting, engaging, inspiring but still efficient and safe experiences in the smart city ?

How can we develop new tools and techniques that develop new understandings of the city and the uses of the city?

These questions must be addressed through a experimental, interdisciplinary research practice, that potentially involve tool builders, tool users and ‘reflectionists’.
