Session teaser

Cities are centers of innovation and creativity, but they also face great challenges such as rapid urbanization, pollution, lack of privacy and increased pressure on city services (i.e. transport). To address the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities, cities are encouraged to become ‘smart cities’. What are the relevant questions that need answering in the immediate future?

Session description

  • Introduction – 10 min;
  • The moderator will engage participants to discuss about infrastructure, technology, connectivity and data – 15-20 minutes;
  • The moderator will engage participants to discuss about privacy and data collection – 15-20 minutes;
  • The moderator will engage participants to discuss about how can we ensure the use of smart city generated data for the common good – 15-20 minutes;
  • Wrapping up and rapporteurs talks – 10 min.


The participants will receive from the very beginning of the session, sheets of paper with the challenges that the moderator(s) are proposing to be discussed. At the end, they will vote, according to their own views what are the most important topics to be consider for the final report.

Questions that should be answered at the end of the session:

  • Smart infrastructure means interconnected things. What are the major risks of a connected city and what is there to be done to lower them down?
  • Are the citizens aware of what data collection means? Should we be concerned by the constant surveillance?
  • How can data become available to researchers in e.g. mobility, health, city planning, environmental, etc.?
  • How to make a smooth transition/ensure the inclusion/ of those who are not computer savvies at all and are not able to be included in the community education and engagement programmes due to different factors?
  • What are the infrastructures that should be consider in smart cities?
  • Is 5G technology the most important element for smart cities?
