The Festival Géopolitique 2020 has been rescheduled for March 24-26, 2021. Paul Manwaring will deliver a paper: Smart Cities versus Smart Citizens are Living Labs the answer? If we are going to create sustainable value in urban environments we need to radically change our thinking from the current top-down/bottom-up dichotomy to a more egalitarian side-by-side collaborative approach. He will explain how it is possible to cultivate a productive dynamic between socio economic power and the power of the crowd in Living Labs.
