Workshop
The Urban Future is Now: Uniting Powers for Inclusive and Sustainable Design of Smart Cities
(Mensch und Computer 2024 - Workshopband, 2024) Osipova, Margarita; Marra, Konstantina; Aal, Tanja; Aal, Konstantin; Hornecker, Eva; Hespanhol, Luke
The rapid urbanisation and smartization of the world brings challenges of designing urban futures that contribute to a sustainable and inclusive city environment. Additional complexity arises from space and infrastructure constraints, the diverse user range and involvement of multiple stakeholders in the design process. While these technologies -- once created -- would shape the future of cities and human- and non-human-citizens in the long run, we identify a lack of experience and knowledge exchange in the respective community regarding the addressing of smart city challenges from more than purely technical or topic-specific perspectives. With this workshop, we aim to gather researchers and practitioners from the fields of Urban Informatics, Smart Urbanism, and Human-Computer Interaction to openly share experiences and to outline the design challenges that should be addressed first, with the values of sustainability and inclusion as objectives for smart urban futures.
