1. DO WE
REALY NEED
SMART CITIES?

1. SMART CITIES
MAINSTREAM APPROACH
CITY AS AN URBAN SYSTEM; FOCUS ON HARDWARE
NEOLIBERAL AND TECHNOLOGY-PUSH PERSPECTIVE
INVESTMENT IN HIGHLY COST INFRA-STRUCTURES
APPLIED SPECIALLY TO GLOBAL CITIES
RESULTS / CRITICS
INFRASTRUTURE
BIG PROJECTS
INCREASING SPATIAL INEQUALITIES
LACK OF CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT
OVERVIEW: http://www.smartcitiesitsallaboutpeople.net/

1. HUMAN SMART CITIES

NEW APPROACH
governments engage citizens
peer-to-peer relationship based on reciprocal trust and collaboration
city where people are the main actors of urban smartness
adopts services that are born from peoples real needs and have been co-designed
through interactive, dialogic, and collaborative processes

RESULTS

ELECTIONS & POLICY DISCUSSIONS
LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS

os portugueses so o povo mais

desconfiado da Europa Ocidental e ocupam
a 25 posio entre 26 pases. Para quase
20 por cento dos portugueses e franceses
"para se chegar ao topo, necessrio ser
corrupto OCDE (2007)

45% dos portugueses suspeitam dos

outros, mas os nmeros disparam se o alvo
for o governo (70%) Estudo TESE (2010)

PROJECTS & PLANS

AT HOME/WORK LEVEL
PERSONAL/FAMILY LIFE
JOB

25,6% dos inquiridos portugueses

assumiam-se como associativistas, o que
ainda assim tornava Portugal o pas
europeu com a mais baixa taxa associativa
(Delicado, 2003: 232-5).

2. CIVIC AGENDA FOR SMATER CITIES

PEOPLE DO PARTICIPATE IF
COLLECTIVE ISSUES/CONCERNS
ADEQUATE ARENAS (VIRTUAL & FACE2FACE)
COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT (TRUST & EMPATHY)
THEY HAVE ACCESS TO INFORMATION (EXPERTISE)
THERE IS A COMMON SHARE OF IDEAS (CO-CREATE)
THEY FEEL THEIR VOICES CAN BE HEARD (INFLUENCE)
DESPITE

MYTHS AND PREJUDICES

DIFICULTIES AND LIMITATIONS
LACK TRADITION

ALL CHANGES ARE EPHEMERAL AND REVERSIBLE

PERSERVERANCE IS A KEY FACTOR!

2. CIVIC AGENDA

ENVIROMENT
CONTROL EMISSIONS / CLIMATE CHANGE
SOCIAL
HEALTH, SOLIDARITY, INCLUSIVE
ECONOMY
GROWTH AND CREATE JOBS

2. CIVIC AGENDA
WHY DO WE NEED A CIVIC AGENDA (IN PORTUGAL)?

REDISCOVER RESOURCES IN CITIES (DEVALUED OR UNKNOWN)
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CITIES AND ITS RESOURCES
SPACES VACANT UNDERUTILIZED OR (AND NOT BUILT BUILT, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE)
NETWORKS OF PROXIMITY (ORGANIZATIONS AND EQUIPMENT)
CIVIC AND INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY
ICT INFRASTRUCTURES / KNOWLEDGE

2. CIVIC AGENDA
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CITIES AND ITS RESOURCES

Temos de ir caminhando
pelas ruas e conversando
com as pessoas para ir
procura dessas microhistrias
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE + SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
MAPPING, SHARING, LINKING
CO-PRODUCING

2. CIVIC AGENDA
NETWORKS OF PROXIMITY (ORGANIZATIONS AND EQUIPMENT)

produzir o seu adequado mapeamento e sistematizao para permitir

construir colaborativamente uma nova narrativa sobre as questes
crticas locais, valorizando esses recursos, e com isso produzir um outro

CIVIC AND INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY

Manuel Assuno, A Universidade de Aveiro como universidade cvica

2. CIVIC AGENDA
ICT INFRASTRUCTURE AND KNOWLEDGE

'urbanizao da tecnologia' - uma forma particular

transformar, adaptar ou mesmo hackear a
'tecnologia' para responder a problemas e
necessidades da comunidade (empresarial,
artstica, cientfica, associativa e cvica).
A tecnologia vai desde o carro, a bicicleta,
mobilirio urbano, edifcios, passando pelos
dispositivos mveis, redes, etc..,
A cidade (em particular os seus utilizadores,
residentes, organizaes, ecologias) pode ser o
palco da identificao de novas necessidades de
resposta e da adequao bem sucedida ('hackear')
da tecnologia a essas necessidades (Sassen, 2012)

3. HOW ARE
WE USING OUR
COLLECTIVE
INTELIGENCE?

3.1 WHAT DO WE MEAN BY COLLECTIVE INTELIGENCE?

COLLECTIVE INTELIGENCE CONCEPT
Empowerment through the development and pooling of intelligence to attain
common goals or to resolve common problems Brown and Lauder (2000)
Social glue that holds societies together Brown and Lauder (2000)

V. IMP. the extent to which people are institutionally encouraged (trust)

to pool their capacity (knowledge, technology and intellectual resources) for
intelligent action (solve collective problems) Brown and Lauder (2000)

3.2 WHY SHOULD WE USE COLLECTIVE INTELIGENCE?

LIDERANAS QUE AJUDAM OS GRUPOS A AGIR COLECTIVAMENTE DE MODO MAIS INTELIGENTE

ESTUDO MIT CONCLUIU QUE A IC

est fracamente correlacionado com a mdia e
mxima inteligncia do grupo;
no est correlacionada com a satiafao do
grupo, motivao coeso;
est significativamente correlacionada com:
PERCEPO SOCIAL (capacidade dos
membros lerem as expresses e emoes
dos outros);
IGUALDADE DE PARTICIPAO NA
CONVERSAO;
PROPORO DE MULHERES NO GRUPO
(relacionado com o 1.);
