Simultaneously, such novel technologies can impact society quite broadly. Responsible Urban Digitization On the one hand, innovations like these can help improve the quality of life in the city and enhance safety and efficiency, but also sustainability and livability. For example to optimize mobility flows in urban environments, to better use available capacity of energy infrastructures, to conduct condition management on the city’s assets, rationalize garbage removal and much more. Smart technologies like these help the municipality to efficiently measure, analyse and steer processes in the urban area. The latter being devices in physical spaces that emit a signal that can be picked up by mobile devices with a specific app. Smart technologies in the city Throughout the city there are over 200 cameras, about 230 air quality sensors and almost 500 beacons in place.

(Re)designing, prototype testing and implementing responsible sensing systems In the Responsible Sensing Lab academics are invited to connect and work with practitioners who are responsible for digital systems in the city to (re)design, prototype and test (more) responsible ways of sensing in public space for and with the City of Amsterdam.
In essence this Lab is a testbed for conducting rigorous, transparent, and replicable research how our smart technologies placed in public space can be designed in a way that makes the digital city ‘responsible’. At the same time, we explore how to embed society’s public and democratic values in the design of these innovations.Īs part of this program, we launched the Responsible Sensing Lab (RSL) on in January 2021 during an interactive livestream event.
With our Responsible Urban Digitization program, we research, develop and integrate smart technologies like the aforementioned to help solve urban challenges.
