On 24 Oct. 2017, I was the moderator of the\u00a0conference \u201cA City as Smart as its Citizens\u201d, organized by\u00a0Het Nieuwe Instituut<\/a>. The event took place as part of the\u00a0Dutch Design Week\/World Design Event in the former Philips\u00a0NatLab in Eindhoven.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Keynote speakers were Maya Indira Ganesh<\/a> (Tactical Technology Collective), Usman Haque<\/a> (Umbrellium), and\u00a0Drew Hemment<\/a> (FutureEverything).<\/p>\n

Also very cool, my first all-female expert panel, on the topic of smart cities and data no less!<\/p>\n

How do we go beyond the \u201csmart city\u201d and build a smart society? The DATAstudio has spent three years studying how citizens and neighbourhoods can benefit from data and technology. The international conference Finale: A City as Smart as Its Citizens will present the project\u2019s findings and results in the Dutch and international contexts. Speakers will include Drew Hemment<\/a> (FutureEverything),\u00a0Maya Indira Ganesh <\/a>(Tactical Technology Collective) and\u00a0Usman Haque<\/a> (Umbrellium).<\/p>\n

We will also challenge city officials, designers, data specialists, students, researchers and citizens to work together in smaller groups in design sessions.\u00a0We\u2019ll address two pertinent questions at the conference. First, how can data flows in public space be made more visible and legible so they can become the subject of public discussion and public applications? Second, how can citizens get more input and influence with regard to issues in the city that concern them through access to relevant (and legible and usable) data?<\/span><\/p>\n

In a concluding talk and discussion, we\u2019ll attempt to sketch a realistic yet ambitious picture of how we might move forward toward a smart society.<\/p>\n

The event is moderated by Michiel de Lange (Co.Laborations Expertise Centre<\/a>, Utrecht University Media & Culture Studies department).<\/em>
