Beste Smart-city'ers,
Op dit moment ben ik bezig met het bedenken van een scriptieonderwerp binnen het thema van “Experimenting in the ‘Smart’ City” . Ik studeer Future Planet Studies en Sociale Geografie aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Nu kan ik natuurlijk zelf heel hard nadenken, maar waarom niet mijn tijd en energie steken in een bestaand vraagstuk of probleem! Dus ben jij een start-up, kritische denker of gewoon een Amsterdammer met een idee, dan hoor ik het graag! En wellicht probeer ik dan het aankomende jaar een antwoord te vinden op jouw vraagstuk!

Arnhem food cooperative with Amsterdam roots
In 1901, sixteen dairy farmers in the vicinity of Amsterdam, decided to establish the "Ilpenstein" cheese factory. My grandfather, Piet Nieuweboer, was one of the directors of the cooperative. The reason for collaboration within the cooperative? Cheesemaking traditionally takes place at the farm itself. The cheese factory made it possible to use innovative cheesemaking techniques. Even more important was the collaboration to improve the distribution and marketing of the cheese towards customers.
With the course "Biologisch Tuinieren in de Stad", we have trained almost two hundred new urban farmers in the city of Arnhem. Organic urban farmers with a food garden of half a square meter till half a hectare. It is a dream that these organic urban farmers, and others, will eventually find and learn from each other. Our initiative is the establishment and growth of the "Biologische Stadsboeren Coöperatie Arnhem Groen". An organic urban farmers' cooperative focused on economic collaboration in a green Arnhem.

Hi Kim, hoe gaat het met het vinden van een goed vraagstuk voor je scriptie? Hebben de ideeen van Tom je geholpen?
Hi Kim, by 'testing with public to influence policy' I mean municipal policies. For example Airbnb & Uber have radically changed our cities before the officials had real understanding how would effect our streets and sidewalks. In the near future cities will have to decide what the values and principles are for all the new Autonomous delivery, 5G, Smart Cameras ie. what are the ethics involved, how can citizens benefit from all this new urban tech?
Hi Tom! Thanks for your comment!
I checked out the website of CITIXl.com and found the idea of using Amsterdam as a testsite for other cities very interesting. So your question of how testing with the public influences good smart city policy really caughts my attention. I do have some questions:
Do you mean testing with the public in the form of living labs?
And what do you mean with policy? Policy for the municipality of cities, living labs themselves or for CITIXL?
Kind regards!
Hi Kim, It’s clear that technology has been flooding our homes / businesses and now spills over into the streets and sidewalks. The question we've been asking at CITIXL.com is: How can testing with the public influence good smart city policy?
