Urban spaces are changing. New media convergences are colliding with the built environment. This talk describes how the rules of the game are changing, how information landscapes fundamentally shift the scale and operation of urbanism, and how hyperlocal information is redefining what it means to be an urban citizen in a connected world.

The Smart Community concept began in 1999, when the Intelligent Community Forum chose Singapore as its first Intelligent Community of the Year. This talk reviews cities around the world that have found innovative ways to involve their citizens in decisions that affect their lives. It also considers some “platform technologies”, such as non-financial applications of the blockchain, that can be used to build trust and confidence in civic applications. And it shows how things can go horribly wrong when citizen-engagement projects are poorly designed and implemented.
