This year, the Future City Foundation and 26 public and private partners are investigating 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”. The book is available in Dutch and a summary in English.

The original version of the book is in Dutch (212 pages) with theory about digitalization and technologization in vision and plans, 27 tutorials including the Model Bylaw Smart City Applications in the Public Space and 15 examples of smart city applications in the Netherlands. Download the Dutch version on https://future-city.nl/smartstedenbouw/

The English version (52 pages) focuses on the 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.
These are explained in detail. In addition, the Model Bylaw Smart City Applications in the Public Space is included in the book.
