A new edition of the Smart City Week, a space for reflection and dialogue on the model of city we want, is to be held from 11th to 17th November with the participation of public and private players and the collaboration of academic institutions and neighbourhood associations from Barcelona.

Ca l’Alier, an urban innovation centre in the city of Barcelona, is to be the epicentre of the event where many of the scheduled activities are located.

Under the slogan “City in action”, the Smart City Week strives to encourage collective reflection on how to modify the technologies of our city together with the intelligence of its locals. The programme is structured around subjects such as culture, citizen participation and the gender-based perspective, and is divided into three itineraries:

Transforming the city today: Activities on innovations and initiatives that improve the present-day city.

Transforming the city tomorrow: Activities on innovations and initiatives that improve the city in the near future.

Transforming the city of the future: Activities on future innovations and initiatives that involve structural changes to cities. In other words, shaking some of the foundations on which present-day cities are built and sharing improvements to the city for a distant future.

More than 50 activities spread around Barcelona seek to encourage reflection on how technologies modify our city, how we interpret it and relate to it. They all support the notion of a city that uses technologies along with the collective intelligence of its locals to ensure a more sustainable, fair and inclusive urban environment in the long and short term.
