Connected, Flexible and Meaningful: This is How You Design the Real Smart City

The Future City Foundation and 26 partners have investigated how we should design the smart city. The network assumes that urban design and the products that result from it are radically changing. Just like it happened with other industries. They want to understand how it happens, what are the opportunities and what are the risks. They present the results of the research in the book: A Smart City, This is How You Do It — Connected, Flexible and Meaningful: Make the Real Future City. It focuses on four design principles for smart urban design: we want a sustainable and democratic city; in it we design everything as a democratic smart network; we design flexibility; we design meaningfully.
