This developm ent\, often framed as the “Smart City”\, has the potential to transfor m local governance\, because vast data collection might better inform gove rnmental decisions. Many cities also partner with private companies in the ir quest to become “smart”\, hoping to capitalise on outside tech know ledge to make up for a lack of in-house expertise. At the same time\, digi tal platforms are transforming how space is used in the city. The digitali sation of large parts of city infrastructure raises new questions of priva cy\, data governance and (digital) design that have historically not been part of city planning\, architecture and local governance: How can techno logy meaningfully improve citizens’ lives? What responsibilities does a smart city have towards its residents? Who are the City Makers of the digi tal age?\n\n \;\nCITY MAKING IN THE DIGITAL AGE\n\n\nThursday\, 21 Feb ruary 2019 | 7 – 8.30 pm | Doors open 6.30 pm\nHIIG | Französische Stra ße 9 | 10117 Berlin\n \;\nPlease register for the event in advance vi a the registration form below.\n \;\n\nThe moderator Benjamin Knödler will discuss with: \n\nMarleen Stikker\, co-founder of WAAG\, an Amsterda m based interdisciplinary non-profit media lab and research institute.
