TH/NGS 2023: Un/ntended consequences
Events
Join us on 14 & 15 December, at Nieuwe Instituut, for the annual ThingsCon event powered by CLICKNL. This year’s theme: ‘Un/ntended Consequences’, explores and promotes the development of fair, responsible, and human-centric technologies for the IoT and beyond. The Human Values for Smarter Cities research team will contribute to the program with the following activities:
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.
