Smart Cities and Creativity: Towards A New Intersection of Urban and Culture Theory – A Challenge after the Pandemic
A smart city, attracting the interest of scholars and citizens across the world, is a concept which has not fully been actualized yet; instead, it opens up interpretations, discussions and embodiments. Titled as Smart Cities and Creativity, this symposium will invite scholars and practitioners from differing fields from Switzerland, Japan and abroad, and explore fundamental questions relating to a smart city through the lens of arts, culture and creativity.
How much is smart city the actual direction of contemporary cities?
To what extent is smart city transforming and impacting the creative and cultural clusters in urban areas?
Can we use ‘creativity’ as another integral component of the city and does ‘creativity’ have the potential to be the invigorating force of urban experiences?
This symposium will attempt to identify the roles and potentiality of arts, culture, and creativity while developing ideas to actualize a smart city.
