Tech for Humanity: Co-Creating Tech-Enhanced Livable Cities


Location: Room - Ballroom

Vienna is known as the most livable city in the world. Mobility and public transport, the transition to renewable energy as well as re-imagining re-creational areas are important aspects of livability. We would like to focus on those 3 aspects and highlight how technology and participative methods complement each other to design livable urban futures. We would also like to facilitate the exchange among participants on these 3 topics focusing on success stories as well as challenging aspects. The results will be documented in order to distribute learnings and take-aways to participants after the conference.
