Smart People & Urban Commoning
Symposium "Beware of Smart People"
2014 – 2016

The symposium "Beware of Smart People" addressed the conflictual reality in which Smart City approaches are currently unfolding. International scholars and practitioners:

 

  1. Reflected on the "Smart City" as a contested paradigm;
  2. Shifted the discourse towards the notion of the urban as co-produced by many voices;
  3. Attempted to redefine "Smart City" by putting ordinary citizens as "Smart People" at the core of the debate.
