This invitation-only round table is an event to be held as part of the transnational project A Charter for the Smart City, which aims to create a charter for European Smart Cities at the forefront of technological innovations.

Event Background

This workshop is to be held as part of the transnational project A Charter for the Smart City, which aims to formulate guiding principles that help politicians to assess and steer technological innovations in European cities.

About the Event

This workshop will draw from examples of best practices from across Europe to contribute to the development of a Charter, one which addresses the opportunities that new technologies offer for reducing the ecological footprint of cities and creating new urban commons, while also addressing the threats they might present to civil liberties and social justice.
