Workshops

We will question, map and work together to understand how smart citizen initiatives jump, that is how they are modified and appropriated - or not - in locations other than the ones where they were originally initiated.

[Unfortunately, the workshop is cancelled due to logistical reasons] This workshop will explore digital guano as a fertile ground for anarcho-epistemological or ludo-epistemological urban knowledge production and interrogates how we might imagine and create an infrastructure that would enable this digital guano to settle in and feed the city as a counter-balance to smart city rhetoric.

Through an interactive and creative approach, this workshop aims to explore and critically discuss experiences of civic crowdfunding in European cities, investigating the potential and limits of such innovative initiatives in proactively taking responsibility of public assets.

In this workshop the possibilities of the participatory mapping tool called Measuring Amsterdam will be explored, followed by a co-creation session in which the value of the retrieved datasets are explored.

Through an actual game design challenge, this workshop explores how well map data describes the street-level experience of the city.

The workshop explores co-creatively the concept of Smart Cities through a lens that promotes citizens as the driving force of urban innovation and urban planning.

Through a user­centred design approach, the workshop aims to propose strategies for enhancing walkability in cities with the aid of new technologies and associated data.

Collecting stories instead of data, to find out what problems we need technology to solve. During this workshop we will re­evaluate the role of the (metropolitan) government by working with the storytelling method ‘Feed Forward Stories’.

This workshop invites participants to collaboratively develop new ways to communicate concealed or unknown urban data. Through ideation and collaboration, prototypes will be designed that exemplify these new scenarios for public data dissemination in urban space.

In this workshop we explore how networked citizens can get a grip on their own smart city and what role designers can play in enabling networked citizens to design and make their own smart application.

Using insights from our research on bicycle parking around train stations, you will co-create ideas for smarter bicycle parking solutions.

The goal of the workshop is to discuss possible design, policy and technology responses to challenges faced by informal waste pickers across the globe.

This workshop aims to demonstrate how citizen generated environmental measurements can inform evidence-based dialogues that enhance agency, and can potentially lead to healthier, more social and liveable cities.

Collecting methods, practices, tools, formats, experiences and case studies of prototyping for citizen engagement.
