If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

5.3.1 Smart Citizens in Smart Cities?

Course subject(s) Module 5 – Energy & Air 2: Citizens Co-Creating Cleaner Air

Social Glass

Sensors like the smart citizen kit (https://smartcitizen.me/) that Waag Society adapted for using it in the Urban AirQ-project, are part of a recent spurt in sensor technology and an increasing presence of sensors in urban environments. City life increasingly produces all kinds of Big Data. With the emergence of new sensor technology, social media, and the Internet of Things, this development is likely to carry on in cities around the world. So-called ‘smart cities’ promise to harvest and utilize these data to make city life more effective, efficient and ultimately more sustainable. The next video is from an AMS-research project and gives an impression of data innovations in the field of smart cities. While watching this video, what do you think Big Data implies not just for city governance but also for the everyday life of citizens?
