Are you interested in smart citizens instead of smart cities?
Summary of the article titled Essay: On the smart city; Or a ‘manifesto’ for smart citizens instead from 2012 by Dan Hill, published first on the CityofSound blog, then on Medium.
This is a great preparation to our next interview with Dan Hill in episode 288 talking about what the real smart city could be.
Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see why smart citizens need to be in the centre of smart cities. This article advocates for shifting the focus of smart city developments from technology-driven solutions to citizen-centred approaches, emphasizing the role of smart citizens in shaping future cities.
