Woensdag 11 maart – Van Waag, het manifesto for smart citizens. Een reactie uit 2013 op de neo liberale smart cities beweging (eigenlijk zou je het beter een campagne kunnen noemen). Frank Kresin, nu decaan bij de HvA, heeft het geschreven. De tekst heeft niets aan relevantie ingeboet...

Un #ViernesPlantsss de reflexión y tristeza. En las últimas 48 horas, cerca de 700 árboles dejaron de estar presentes en nuestra ciudad. Una situación totalmente predecible gracias a Plantsss App. El no conocer el estado de nuestro arbolado urbano, hace que los municipios no puedan tomar medidas preventivas. Los amigos de @plantsssapp ofrecen este servicio gratuito para los ciudadanos y para los municipios, pero se necesitan voluntades polÃticas para que los encargados quieran ser parte de esta democrática solución. Conoce - Valora - Conserva Descarga gratis Plantsss #ActitudPlantsss #arboladourbano #plantsss #smartcitizens Foto: @maxdelporte https://www.instagram.com/p/ByI1CM3hG_H/?igshid=sk2q0bwzjasf

There are currently two equally powerful, but ideologically opposed, visions of what a smart city is and what it should be. In the blue corner is the paternalistic approach, in which a network of sensors, transport arteries, motion-sensitive street lighting and smart grids feed into a central operating centre. There, a team of civil servants and a mayoral Wizard of Oz respond to these electronic indicators and usher citizens accordingly.
In the red corner, is the city networked from the bottom up. Here, the smart technology is not billion-dollar investments made by city authorities, but the smartphones we carry and our internet-connected homes. The rise of apps and social networks allows us to navigate, edit and influence the cities we live in, telling authorities rather than waiting to be told.
These two positions are not irredeemably opposed. I will give two examples of where this is explored.
In FutureEverything's Bespoke Smart City Debate Anthony Townsend described a smart city in which ICT companies would implement solutions both general and specific to some extent. The debate, he suggests, is over what percentage the smart city can and should be generalised. This is not a smart city from the bottom-up, but rather a top-down smart city with localised stakeholder consultation.
In his deconstruction of the smart city [pdf], Marc Wolfram describes the term as a floating signifier but not an empty one. By this he means that while the word can be employed to whatever end so desired, it is not without a centralised meaning. As such interventions against the top-down smart city are folded back into its broad definition. This has the effect of normalising a specific managerial mode of urban governance and occluding more critical debate on the role of computation in the city.
I don't know whether it is possible to resist this term outright. I think it has a certain momentum to it now that will be very hard to slow. Regardless, there are broader traditions of embedded, situated, ubiquitous and pervasive computing which offer technologists ways to engage with this shift outside its dominant rhetoric.

The Smart Citizen Kit: Crowdsourced Environmental Monitoring:
We are not asking you to eliminate your carbon footprint, nor attempting to turn you into a climate change crusader, nor claiming that the end of the world was triggered by you not recycling that can of soda last week… Experts of all kinds and points of view are working hard to tackle these problems, and talking heads add their two cents daily. Our goal is not to add to this chatter, but to help… [empower] communities to collect data of what's actually happening in their environment.
For future smart cities to thrive, it must be centred around people, not just infrastructure. This was the overwhelming message from a group of influential thinkers speaking at this year’s FutureEverything Summit. sustain’ went along to find out what smart-city planners can learn from bottom-up approaches…
