Workshop | Repairing unintended/unwanted consequences of existing Smart Technologies

Hosted by Mike de Kreek

In this workshop, we will look at unwanted consequences, based on two existing urban technologies: a parking scan car service and an online reporting platform for local issues. We will use a canvas and our imagination to work on recommendations to repair the existing systems and/ or structures where these consequences originated.

Workshop | Responsible Urban Sensing

Hosted by Tom van Arman

In this workshop, Tom van Arman will guide you through some concrete citizen-by-design applications, toolkits and techniques to keep your smart city projects safe, insightful and inclusive to all. In this hands-on workshop, we will examine the Scan-Car. What is its purpose? What does it do today? What can it do tomorrow? Teams will collaborate and speculate how the Scan Car can fit a citizen-centric future city.
