Our proposal focuses on a technological, social and urban process that takes place over ten years time. Citizens will get deeply involved into expanding the Internet of Things, adopting an active prosumer role, instead of perpetuating passive postures. In the end, data-citizen driven cities will enable local direct democracy processes that would enhance their sustainability and efficiency.

Understanding reality with data,
changing personal habits.
Using open source technologies, like
Arduino-based sensor units or mobile apps,
data-citizens will be able to gather their own
real-time data regarding issues they are
really concerned about, such as air quality, 40.24 N
noise levels, street deficiencies, plagues, etc. 3.41 O
All data will be shared in open public
repositories, like Pachube, available for
everyone. Long term data archival will allow 40.242 N
citizens to gain a better understanding of the 3.413 O
urban environment and to improve their
daily personal habits. 40.24 N
