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:

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