WeMakeThe.City | Urban Conference: Next Generation Cities

Featured image

The question ‘Who owns the city?’ has become increasingly relevant in a time where data and technology influence cities all over the world. New technologies can offer solutions to urban challenges, however, citizens are rarely involved in such processes of innovation.

Amsterdam Smart City and partners organize a program that explores the necessary strategies for inclusive, democratic and responsible digital transformation. How can we enable all urban stakeholders to own and benefit from this net generation of smart cities?

This conference will take place during the WeMakeThe.City festival. Please get an account on the website first, log in and buy your tickets!
