Dominic Campbell from FutureGov gave a fascinating presentation on Monday in Barcelona Open Cities, Smarter Cities panel at Personal Democracy Forum Europe
The presentation focused on how the web is shaping cities and cities are shaping the web. Some of these themes were:
DemocraCity: how new forms of online democracy are emerging going beyond traditional party divides and creating interesting new spaces for debate
TransparenCity: how the web as opening up government and its data, improving trust and providing new ways to monitor, manage and access existing public services
WikiCity: how the web is providing new ways for city-zens to engage on (and off) line with government and each another
DIY City: how citizens are beginning to use the web to organise and work with and around the state
InclusiviCity: how through getting traditionally (socially and digitally) marginalised people online, there exists an opportunity to open up the city and the web to all
SocialCity: how social spaces (on and offline) are crucial to creating opportunities for collaboration and innovation in cities
Dom kindly mentioned the Social Spaces project and Hand Made in the SocialCity part of the talk and we are really looking forward to the Creative Communities Camp we are doing at the CityCamp London event on Saturday 9th October!
