Human Smart CitiesThe case of Lisbon

Prof. Álvaro de OliveiraInnovation ConventionBrussels, 11th March, 2014

Modern cities became places of

human isolation and

social exclusion.

2

Human Smart Cities are places

for human interaction and social inclusion!

MyNeighbourhood Project

In the neighbourhood of MyNeighbourhood the past values of socio-spatial connectedness are recreated through the Urban Living Lab methodology to create and engage communities, design thinking to implement the WIN methodology and Gamification to sustain the citizens motivation on the co-creation of solutions for their wishes, interests and needs.

In the neighbourhood of MyNeighbourhood a social-digital environment (Technical platform and social innovation methodologies and tools) is created to support a closer attachment between people, their places of physical dwelling and their material, social and environmental concerns. Proudness and sense of belonging comes to life and scales up to the city.
