1. Workshop
Smart cities connect
smart people
Let’s start from the people and their user experience.
Think about how people’s every day life would change within a smart
city context. And how a smart city would adapt dynamically according
to citizens activities (citizens as sensors).
How pervasive and connected urban platforms could foster people’s
collaboration and creativity, from the local to the urban scale.

2. It’s the future.
It’s about people.
Don’t think about technology or infrastructure:
assume that (almost) everything is technically
possible. Keep the people in the center.
