CURRENT AFFAIRS: COLLABORATIVE CITY

Public policies for promoting fablabs

Grandes ciudades luchando contra el cambio climático

This article examines the role that public policies can play in encouraging the extension of fablabs as experiences and collaborative platforms for community production and digital manufacturing. As an illustration, particular attention is given to the case of the city of Barcelona as an especially advanced example of these decentralized production laboratories.

CURRENT AFFAIRS: URBAN PLANNING

Open governance for smart citizenship

Opening governance to citizens and their ability to build networks and foster creativity and entrepreneurship are some of the main policies on the agenda of smart cities. Smart cities and governments will be more open, participatory and citizen-centred, with continuous dynamics of cooperation and information-sharing between individuals, companies and administrations.

Una ciudad inteligente y resiliente frente a las emergencias

Para crear una ciudad inteligente y resiliente frente a las emergencias es necesario prevenir. Proteger las infraestructuras vitales de la ciudad y haber creado sistemas inteligentes autónomos, para que un fallo no pueda propagarse al resto de infraestructuras. Conocer la urbe, haber generado modelos que permitan predecir cómo se comportará la ciudad ante un evento determinado y lo más importante, saber mostrar la información de forma clara y concisa a los que van a tener que actuar: responsables políticos y ciudadanos.
