Abstract
“Smart Cities” and “Smart Communities” have been
recurrent keywords
in countless
projects and
initiatives in the
last decade,
addressed to the
emerging problems of
our cities in the
XXI century:
pollution monitoring
systems, smart
grids, devices for
remote health
monitoring, robots
for assisting aging
population, traffic
management systems
are some examples.
Recently the smart
city rhetoric has
attracted an
increasing number of
critics because most
of the funding
agendas and of the
proposed solutions
are ascribable to
forms of
technocratic and
market driven
governance -often
bound to black box
technologies and
data- which do not
really address the
real causes of the
complex urban
issues. To recover
the neglected role
of societies in the
urban governance,
several
counter-proposals
are rooted on the
notions of social
and civic rights,
citizens active
participation
through technology,
and on the idea of
urban digital
commons. The 10th
Nexa Conference is
focused on the
latter: we will
discuss the role of
urban digital
commons in shaping
the future
governance of our
cities, in the
context of two
ongoing projects:
the Digital Open
Urban Twin at the
Future Urban Legacy
Lab, and the H2020
project DECODE.

Programme, under grant
