I wouldn't be able to tell you what a smart city is, but I am sure that you have some ideas of what it is, or could be. By using visual facilitation and concept network mapping, we'll shape together our collective perception of the smart city. During this 1h30 workshop, we'll see a definition of smart city emerge and explore the implications and ramifications of the concept in our daily lives.
