Smart citizens will take responsibility for where they live and value access over ownership. They will ask questions before coming up with answers and help people struggling with smart technologies. The Waag Society supports smart citizens through labs and initiatives that empower people to collect environmental data, understand their surroundings, and enact change through open technologies and collective engagement. Their goal is to encourage bottom-up decision making and embrace complexity.
Makers of Change & The Third Industrial Revolution - which might be up for revision since the Forth has been announced. However, here it is, marvelling the advances and aims of the Maker Movement for changing the Way Things Work.
Beyond the smart city. How open data, maker spaces and open IOT infrastructures can empower citizens to become the makers of change we duly need. While technology can make our lives easier and service provisioning more efficient, disruptive innovation comes from people who want to take their futures into their own hands. Entrepreneurs, hackers, designers, civil servants and inhabitants unite: here comes the hackable city.
Presentation delivered at Mess & Order, Stavanger, during the 2016 Hackathon.

Presentation delivered at the Cultural Leadership Forum in Taipei on December 1st 2018. It deals with cultural leadership issues based on my experience at DesignLab, Waag Society, V2_ and Tetem.
DesignLab is a creative and cross-disciplinary ecosystem, connecting science and society by way of creative intelligence and transdisciplinary innovation. It fosters an entrepreneurial mind-set; contributes to educate global citizens of tomorrow, focuses on societal challenges and forges new and effective collaborations. Faculty and students from various academic fields work together with companies and governments to implement and develop scientific and technological insights that can be used in finding and shaping creative, innovative and meaningful solutions for complex societal challenges. Positioned deliberately at the cross-roads of design (thinking), technology, science and humanities, it both bridges and transcends traditional ways of innovation.
Citizen Science - Smart Citizens Making SenseFrank Kresin
This document discusses citizen science and empowering citizens to monitor and better understand their environment. It describes how open data and low-cost sensors can be used to acquire environmental data that is then analyzed and interpreted by citizens. This allows citizens to have a more informed dialogue with governments and influence policies. Examples are provided of citizen science projects focused on air quality monitoring in various cities around the world. The document advocates for enhancing citizens' data literacy skills and creating public data commons to facilitate citizen science initiatives.
Presentatie tbv. de kick-off van Schiedam Lab, op 5 november 2015. Over slimme burgers in slimme steden, en digitale sociale innovatie: deeleconomie, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding & collective intelligence. Over zelf maken en verantwoordelijkheid voor de plek waar je woont, werkt en leeft.
Het nieuwe maken - de derde industriële revolutieFrank Kresin
Presentatie tijdens Emerce Eday, 8 oktober 2015, over het nieuwe maken. Hoe ziet de maker movement eruit, waar zijn die makers te vinden, wat zijn hun ambities en resultaten, en hoe kunnen bedrijven hierop inspelen?
Environmental pollution is causing a wide range of diseases and premature deaths. Yet, public understanding of these important issues are lacking. The Smart Citizens Lab helps citizens to use open source hard- and software to complement existing environmental sensor networks and gain a better understanding of the current state of pollution, and make this insight actionable.
This presentation was delivered first at the Montréal Smart City Expo, March 26 2015.
Presentation delivered in a World Bank workshop on innovation hubs in Gran Concepcion, Chile, on October 6th till 10th 2014. The slideshow outlines Waag Society's approach and consists of four themes: ecosystem, delivering value, developing services & business, and delivering to the real world.

Smart Citizen Kit in Barcelona, Amsterdam & ManchesterFrank Kresin
From March till June, the Barcelona built Smart Citizen Kit was implemented in Amsterdam. The project aimed to help citizens to get a better grips on the local climate, and to stimulate discussion between citizens, and between citizens and city officials and servants. This presentation talks about the reason for the project, the affordances of the Smart Citizen Kit, and
The project was initiated by Waag Society and Amsterdam Smart City, and partnered with Fablab Barcelona and FutureEverything. It was additionally funded by the Fund for the Creative Industries, NL.

CyberSalon - Smart Citizens, Cities & the Case for CitySDKFrank Kresin
Smart cities should empower citizens by giving them access to data and systems. The CitySDK provides open APIs and standards to share data and solutions across cities. It has been used to build apps that give citizens information on mobility, parking, trees, and public services. By prototyping quickly and engaging citizens, cities can better address problems through civic initiatives and harness the knowledge of their smart citizens.
Smart Cities, Smart Citizens and the case for the CitySDKFrank Kresin
Presentation at Information Access in Smart Cities workshop in Amsterdam, 13/04/2014 - on how smart citizens should be the focus in smart cities, and what CitySDK does to make it possible. The presentation starts with some design rules for smarter cities, then introduces Waag Society, and quickly moves on to the Amsterdam Case for Open Data. Then the shortcomings of this approach are described, after which it introduces the City Service Development Kit - a set of bottom up, harmonized API's for software development that scales across cities and countries. Some examples are presented, and it gets back to the central thesis: design smart cities with the people, not for or against them.
This document discusses smart cities and empowering citizens through open data and technology. It presents the principles of co-creation and making to help citizens understand and act in the world. Examples are given of how the CitySDK and Smart Citizen Kit can help cities share and reuse solutions by collecting, annotating, linking and distributing open city data in a standardized way. Guidelines are provided for smarter city design that engages citizens and favors interoperability through loosely coupled, reusable systems.
The document discusses the City Service Development Kit (CitySDK), an open source platform that collects, annotates, links, and distributes city data as linked open data. The CitySDK aims to facilitate sharing best practices across cities by providing common service interfaces and guidelines. It describes several use cases where the CitySDK has helped make city data more accessible and interoperable for developers, researchers, citizens and other stakeholders. Examples of applications that have been built using CitySDK data and APIs are also mentioned.
Civic Hacking & Digital Social InnovationFrank Kresin
Civic hacking and smart citizens are discussed. Key points include:
- Citizens should reclaim agency over the processes, algorithms and systems that shape their world.
- Smart citizens are ready and willing to get involved, but governments are not keeping up with 21st century challenges.
- Governments should tap into citizens' creativity by embracing civic hacking, prototyping quickly, and empowering self-organization at local levels.
CitySDK is a platform to share real-time data and making it available to developers and citizens alike. By implementing CitySDK, cities and citizens can make use of applications built elsewhere, while developers massively extend their potential reach. Opening up can lead to better services, and eventually better cities.
Open Innovation Methodologies @Waag Society Frank Kresin
This document summarizes the work of the WAAG Society, an institute that fosters open innovation through collaboration between users, designers, programmers, artists and scientists. It discusses three main themes: 1) healthy aging and involving users in product development, 2) applied gaming for health and the need for transdisciplinary collaboration, and 3) self-management tools and new principles for innovation in healthcare. The WAAG Society develops solutions through living labs, ethnographic studies, co-creation workshops and testing prototypes with users. The goal is open innovation to address societal challenges like loneliness and chronic disease management.
