15 September 2016
Trento, Italy

 

The workshop aims at fostering a dialogue between entrepreneurs, city planners, policy makers, researchers, technologists, experts in social innovation and designers on the relevance and potentialities of the people centered design approach to the development of smart cities and regions: i.e. a socially-oriented and inclusive bottom-up approach that focuses on persons, their perceptions, motivations, expectations, desires, needs.
The challenge is to support the harmonious and continuous development of the ecosystems' smartness through progressive achievements that are relevant to individuals, the community of belonging and, more in general, the contexts of reference (cities, regions, etc.).

Relevant topics:

- participatory emergence of problems, expectations and needs;
- bottom up monitoring and benchmarking of the smartness of an ecosystems;
- centrality of the design thinking to support system design for smart cities/territory and smartness achievement;
- co-design, co-creation and co-development to achieve ecosystems and territorial smartness (strategies, processes and methodologies);
- the relevance of educational ecosystems as driver of social innovation and territorial development and for the dissemination of the design literacy;
- human sustainability and resilience of the trajectories designed to achieve the ecosystems' smartness;
- technologies and tools supporting people centered design to achieve ecosystems' and territorial's smartness.
