SmartCities'15: international workshop on smart cities: people, technology and data

We propose the First International Workshop on Smart Cities: People, Technology and Data. Cities are not machines, yet too many Smart City projects focus on efficiency and optimization and treat people as mindless users of technology. This workshop focuses on the complex interplay between technologies, data and citizens, exploring how citizens can be engaged to co-design Smart City services and how technology can be harnessed to meet their needs. By soliciting experiences papers from leading Smart City testbeds, and then encouraging detailed discussion by practitioners, we aim to develop guidelines and lessons that grow the Smart City Community.
