Smart cities deep dive

The current smart city agenda is too tech focused. Livable and sustainable cities, where citizens are empowered by human technology,  demand a human-centred, design-driven and collaborative approach. It must cut across industries and demographics and bring together diverse perspectives including citizens, government, investors, entrepreneurs, the public sector, private companies and NGO’s. And then, a process of smart prototyping and experimentation is required to actually set things in motion and get things done.
