In this series of Back to School with..., we examine how digital technologies are reshaping the built environment, and how these transformations influence the ways we inhabit and experience it. How are digital technologies influencing the way our cities function, how they are imagined, represented, and designed? What does it mean for the way environments are produced, consumed, and understood? By examining the relationships between power, representation, and space, this series aims to develop a better and critical understanding of the (post)digital condition and encourage possibilities for imagining alternative futures.
The second session is focused on the impact of digitalisation on the public reals. Together with Martijn de Waal (lector civic interaction design at UVA) and Bruno Ávila Eça de Matos (head of Digitalisering at the City of Amsterdam) we will dive into the impact on urban processes, the organisation of the city and its services. What does digitalisation mean for the way that we are using our cities?
