Digital Futures HiSS project Workshop series – registration is open

From smart to intelligent cities: A human-social choice?

Smart cities of a digitalised society are envisioned as cyber-physical-human systems of sustainable economic growth that enhance human wellbeing. The grand challenge for designing and developing smart cities is to achieve mutually beneficial interactions between cyber and human systems where machines learn from humans and humans learn from machines. A series of workshops for the Digital Futures project Humanizing the Sustainable Smart City (HiSS) is now planned during 2021-2025 with the overriding question: How do we effectively combine human-social decisions/choices on individual, societal and institutional levels, to support the development and design of smart cities?

We welcome faculty from all partners of Digital Futures. Link to program and information on how to register.
