Fishbowl-Diskussion zu Smart Cities und dem Internet of Things
Am Montag, 19. Oktober 15, lädt die TU Kaiserslautern zu einer Diskussion zu Smart Cities, Sensoren, Algorithmen – Chancen, Risiken, den Einfluss auf Kultur und Gesellschaft. Warum ich das ankündige? Ich darf die Expertenrunde moderieren – und ich nehme für den “offenen” Teil im Goldfischglase gerne noch jede Menge Input entgegen… Hier der Text von “Wissenschaft im Dialog” (Link): Heizung ruft…

"The Wyoming law transforms a good Samaritan who volunteers her time to monitor our shared environment into a criminal....if you discover an environmental disaster in Wyoming, even one that poses an imminent threat to public health, you’re obliged, according to this law, to keep it to yourself."

"Kids in India are sparking urban planning changes by mapping slums." Citylab, Feb 19th, 2015. Photos c/o Humara Bachpan.
As part of a broader civic campaign centered on "child clubs," groups of children are creating detailed "social maps" of their marginalized neighborhoods to voice their concerns about public space, as first reported in Citiscope, a CityLab partner site.
Since 2011, UNICEF has been encouraging kids to use mobile technology and open data to map environmental and health issues near their homes. But that technology isn't available to everyone. Instead, much of the child-led mapping campaign sweeping India today relies on old-school topography materials—paper and a rainbow-spectrum of markers.
Teams of young mappers and adult facilitators spend roughly 45 days traversing their slums. They learn the shape of their neighborhood, how streets interconnect (or don't), and the the density of homes there. This information becomes the map's skeleton. Then, they fill in the specifics. They stake out what's needed through the eyes of children—where underserved public areas could become play spaces, where trash bins could be added in an area they regularly see littered with filth. Their ideal neighborhood is drawn and detailed onto the map. Then, after it's complete, leaders from the child clubs present their work to local officials.
[...] Urban planning in India operates as a de-facto gerontocracy, I was told by Dharitri Patnaik, India representative of the Bernard van Leer Foundation, which funds child-development programs. "Most of the time children are never considered as citizens. They're considered as future citizens," Patnaik explains. By coming to the table with a surrogate development proposal—the map—children demonstrate analytical capabilities. In turn, government officials have to take them more seriously.
