  • Advanced cities need a strategy to be the inspiration of the future but urban planning needs to be a fluid exercise, a “winding guide” implementation. The strategies need to have an adaptive DNA, if not they will not survive in dynamic market or disruptive environments.
  • Whatever form a transition it might take, being an advanced city implies finding the institutional arrangements to stimulate the kinds of innovation that solve rather than augment our environmental and social challenges.
    • ]]>         Is an Advanced City about optimised data or subjective (humanised) data? https://ka-au.net/is-an-advanced-city-about-optimised-data-or-subjective-humanised-data/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=is-an-advanced-city-about-optimised-data-or-subjective-humanised-data Tue, 14 Jun 2016 08:08:40 +0000 http://81.47.175.201/ersilia/kaau/?p=6054
  • Cities are not smart; it depends on how tech is used by citizens. Tech use should be questioned economically, ecologically and socially. Advanced city is more sensible to cities complexities and irregularities. Sometimes cities are not smart.
  • Technological innovation is not suffice to bring about a paradigm change and might, in some cases, even drive development in the opposite direction.
    • ]]>         Does a smart city is equal to a rich city? https://ka-au.net/does-a-smart-city-is-equal-to-a-rich-city/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=does-a-smart-city-is-equal-to-a-rich-city Tue, 14 Jun 2016 08:07:30 +0000 http://81.47.175.201/ersilia/kaau/?p=6052
  • Smart cities don’t only benefit the rich but also the poor- open data, open education, free flow of information allow for knowledge creation and new jobs.
  • Smart cities are based on sensors.
  • Smart is synonymous to efficiency and production.
  • It is not about smart cities is about smart citizens.
    • ]]>         Does technology can help the city to reinvent itself? https://ka-au.net/does-technology-can-help-the-city-to-reinvent-itself/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=does-technology-can-help-the-city-to-reinvent-itself Tue, 14 Jun 2016 08:06:11 +0000 http://81.47.175.201/ersilia/kaau/?p=6050
  • Cities are complex systems; tech can help but is not the cure.
  • Investment in prototypes as ‘‘policy laboratories’’ or ‘‘Change Labs’’ can create the conditions for successful integration of different perspectives and knowledge sets, facilitating breakthroughs in complex problem domains through the use of sophisticated process design, and ‘‘beta testing’’ alternative, more sustainable policy and management options.
    • ]]>         How could we preserve spontaneity in discovering the city, if cities are constantly observed and completely mapped? https://ka-au.net/how-could-we-preserve-spontaneity-in-discovering-the-city-if-cities-are-constantly-observed-and-completely-mapped/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-could-we-preserve-spontaneity-in-discovering-the-city-if-cities-are-constantly-observed-and-completely-mapped Tue, 14 Jun 2016 08:03:17 +0000 http://81.47.175.201/ersilia/kaau/?p=6048 Turn off tech devices and enjoy serendipity. Turn on tech devices to be guided. Tech allows you to safely lose yourself.

    «Urban dérive » research project will be launched this year by ENSAM. “Urban dérive” is about analysing the city from the intangibles. In some way the project reminds Daniele Quercia Happy Maps (Capacity of Emotional Data) http://bit.ly/1ZSv6Wv and the Walking app developed by the city of Glasgow or other apps as such as Serendipitor and Wanderlust.
