Reconsidering the Design Automation of Cyber-Physical Systems
The internet of things, part of the cyber-physical systems revolution, is, among other things, making our buildings, cities and grids more efficient. The array of connected objects that make up these systems are in constant communication with one another, and with central processing units, to create a data-rich picture of the world around them. “If […]
Making Citizens The Center Of The Equation In A Collaborative Smart City
The city of Chicago received 182,000 claims, totaling $735 million, over just five years in regard to flooding alone. The key, it realized, was the ability of its soil to absorb water from rainfall.

We Should Democratise Smart City Planning
A smart city project in the UK has crowdsourced ideas in order to better plan the urban redevelopment. As part of a new smart city report, thoughts on the project were welcomed from hundreds of experts across six different domains through a series of 37 workshops at the Hypercatevent in London this year. Hypercat enlisted some of […]
Smart City 2.0: Digital Industrial Companies And Urban Entrepreneurs
While still a relatively new sounding term, the ‘smart city’ has been a topic of discussion for over ten years now.
