Cities are complex organisms, but lived life is much more than coordination and safety. How should the Future Internet support "the other half", which is hardly less complex? Building on research within the Center for Digital Urban Living (www.digitalurbanliving.dk), from journalism and civic communication to media architecture and cultural experiences, Martin Brynskov will outline some core opportunities and challenges we face as city planning becomes increasingly digitised and dynamic.

53. RESEARCH PROBLEMS/OPPORTUNITIES
• How to evaluate urban interventions
– Methods richer data
– Aspects refine design space explorer
– Sensemaking and openness how to “experience”
– Vocabulary (pragmatist, affective, media/communication, STS…) theory
• Balancing engagement and information conflict
• Temporal dynamics: short- vs. long-term effects time
• Tools & frameworks actually building meta-stuff
– Design process support (documenting the design process for reflection)
– Interaction toolboxes (embedded/sensors, camera-based interaction)
75. CHALLENGES: SUMMARY
• Create realistic, desirable visions
• Design for »openness«, 24/7
• Identify new genres, build new platforms
• Find the right people – poets & plumbers
• Organic growth harder, inevitable
• Civic Communication
• Media Façades
• New Urban Areas
• Digital Heritage
• Digital Art
76. THERE ARE MANY »CITIES«
• Wiki-City • Layered City
• Real-Time City • Plugin City
• Living City • Tactical City
• Augmented City • Critical City
• Sentient City • Interface City
• Smart City (AI) • Informational City
• Hybrid City • ...
