Smart Cities
FROM SMART CITIES
TO BUG CITIES?
- I am architect, urban designer and strategic advisor for
the digital city for Mines-Telecom Research Institute
- I speak here on my own behalf and as co-founder of
an architecture office, a start-up and an international
non profit tech venture
A SHIFT IS COMING
- The results will go far beyond added technical skills
to the cities we know or we will build. It will be about
a deep metamorphosis. It will be about building the
cities of the future that will combine brick, mortar,
knowledge, collaboration and empowerment.

SMART CITIES (MORE QUESTION ON ...)
- "I think that the model of "intelligent cities" (...)
misses this opportunity to urbanize the technologies
they mobilize, and futilely seeks to eliminate
incompleteness. The planners of intelligent cities,
notably Songdo in South Korea actually make these
technologies invisible, and hence put them in
command rather than in dialogue with users. One
effect is that intelligent cities represent closed
systems, and that is a pity. It will cut their lives short.
They will become obsolete sooner."
- "Is it possible for developers in “new” cities like Masdar or Palava
in India to be able to comprehensively map out how the city will
work and anticipate its problems (...)?
- What saddens me is that we’ve been down this road before —
time and time again, in fact, in the latter part of the twentieth
century. We know how this story ends, and it isn’t pretty.
There’s a reason why Corbusian total planning is thoroughly
discredited.
- Understanding why top-down total planning doesn’t, and
can’t, produce vital human communities from scratch is
something that smart-city enthusiasts might have gleaned from
even a cursory review of the urbanist canon."

THE DOWNSIDE :
SHOR T-TERMISM
- FOCUSING ON ( VANISHING ) H U M A N
BEING, THE PASSIVE CONSUMERS
- OPTIMIZATION OF
