2. Modern cities became
places of
human
isolation and
social
exclusion.

Human Smart Cities are places
for human
interaction and
social inclusion!

3. 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.

Co-created by governments and citizens
Human Smart Cities use technologies as an enabler to
connect and engage government and citizens, aiming to
rebuild, recreate and motivate urban
communities, stimulating and supporting their collaboration
activities leading to a joint increase of social wellbeing .
Human Smart Cities hear and speak with citizens and provide
technical support and Policy to become the city government
more transparent, participatory, efficient and a mirror of the
citizens’ will.
Human Smart Cities empower citizens to co-design and co-
create solutions for their Wishes, Interests and Needs
(WIN), recreating a new sense of belonging and identity.
