• Smart City Hub: cutting edge intelligence for smart city leaders

• Smart City Hub is founded in 2016 to provide cutting edge intelligence for professionals and decision makers working in smart cities worldwide.

• Introduction: Future Cities:

• Smart by default. Humane by choice.

• The concept of smart cities evokes mixed feelings, somewhere between a technological dystopia and an urban utopia. Smart refers to the use of (digital) technology and data. However, technologies and data have no intrinsic value; they are connected with destruction and with survival as well. In 18 short essays, I will investigate aspects of the humane city and which technologies and data can contribute to the development of humane cities. The development of a humane city does not happen on its own: It is a choice that requires a lot of effort. Once this choice has been made, deploying smart technology is self-evident. After all, which city would want to be dumb? That is why the leitmotif of this series is ‘Future cities: Smart by default. Humane by choice’.
