Co-creating alternative smart city roadmaps in Living Labs

On the day 3 of the OpenLivingLab Days, 27th of August at 11h30, we will organise a workshop offering a hands-on simulation experience of creating a smart city roadmap in multi stakeholder groups. The aim is to discuss how different stakeholders can be involved in the creation urban services. We also explore how can we make the development of smart cities more collaborative by using a range of living lab methods.

In a smart city living lab, we have faced the need to concretize the smart city solutions to a variety of stakeholders. We’ve designed a Smart City Inspiration Card set which can be used for co-creating and evaluating alternative smart city roadmaps.

In the workshop, these cards will be used to facilitate co-creation between the residents, citizens, companies, service developers as well as city planning professionals. Working with the cards, we let the participants build smart city roadmaps from different perspectives. Participants are assigned to different stakeholder roles to negotiate what kind of smart city initiatives should be developed in their town. The workshop allows people to share their experiences in a fun, visual and engaging manner. In the workshop we discuss how different participatory structures affect the routes towards a smart city.

The workshop is facilitated by our team Veera Mustonen, Maija Bergström and Kaisa Spilling from Forum Virium Helsinki.
