Dr Calzada took part in the panel 'The city as a technology consumer. Vision 2030' in the programme of the Open Innovation Forum 2015 in Moscow (Russia) by presenting this '10 Provocations to Design Strategies of our (Smart) Cities' and quoting the journal article 'Unplugging: Deconstructing the Smart Cities' via Journal of Urban Technology. This presentation is a full version of the presentation he delivered two days later in the Museum of Moscow in front of an wide entrepreneurial audience.
Dr Igor Calzada MBA gave a talk and advise to the Smart Oxford Board. The Smart Oxford Board consists of the Oxford City Council, Oxfordshire County Council, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford Research Services, LEP Oxfordshire and Nominet institutions. The aim of the Smart Oxford Board is delivering Smart City strategy for the county and the city by implementing urban solutions based on new solutions.

Future of Cities Summit RE·WORK 5th December in London > ‘Unplugging the Smart City’ Conference paper
Dr Igor Calzada will present on 4th December in London ‘Unplugging the Smart City’ conference paper in the Future Cities Summit Re·Work as a consequence of the joint research ‘Unplugging > Beyond Hyper-Connected Societies’ funded partially by The Oxford Research Center in Humanities and the article published at the Journal of Urban Technology ‘Unplugging > Deconstructing the Smart City’.
The conference will focus on an overview of the impact of being digitally connected on citizens:
Technology is never neutral as Williams (1983) stated. We should identify critically how to evolve as society and human beings by keeping smartly connected rather than being self-deterministically forced to be hyper-connected. Even though some dark side effects of the technology can be identified (Ippolita, 2008), the conference aims to draw on a critical social innovation pathway as a transition towards alternative digital humanities practices for our daily life. Nevertheless, there are plenty of pending questions about this subtle notion, that the conference will clustered as #Unplugging.
According to the Journal of Urban Technology, the article will be available at their website from 8th January 2015.

Basque settlement increased in the western states of the US decades ago, particularly in California, Idaho, and Nevada. Alongside this migration phenomenon, Basque Studies programs have been emerging at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), Boise State University (BSU), and California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB), particularly in the humanities, including history, anthropology, linguistics, and literature. The impact of the pandemic in Basque e-Diasporic communities in California, Idaho, and Nevada, and, consequently, the deep digitalization process being undertaken at the abovementioned universities, has resulted in an increasing demand for an articulated strategy in community engagement through action research. To respond to this timely challenge, the article suggests a need for a transition towards a Social Science transdisciplinary roadmap to support Basque e-diasporic communities. Basque Studies programs have the potential to act as a transformational policy driver through their virtual connections with the Basque Country and key homeland institutions. This article explores this necessary transition through action research by acknowledging the potential for the three abovementioned US states and the Basque Country to set up a transformational e-Diaspora.

Smart City Citizenship provides rigorous analysis for academics and policymakers on the participatory processes and practices of smart cities to help integrate ICT-related innovation into urban life. Unlike other smart city books that are often edited collections, this book focuses on the business domain and the technological disruptions themselves, also examining the role of citizens and the democratic governance issues raised from an interdisciplinary perspective. As smart city research is a fast-growing topic of scientific inquiry and evolving rapidly, this book is an ideal reference for a much needed discussion.

Abstract:
In light of the recent ‘tourism-phobia’, there is a need to better understand how tourism could be transformed through new business and social models. Attempts have been made, for example, to identify which experimental tourism models would align with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Nonetheless, research remains scant and the policy paradigm slightly out of date. With the pervasive proliferation of tourism services provided by big tech multinationals such as AirBnB and Uber and the rapid algorithmic disruption of the so-called “sharing economy” paradigm, several European cities and regions are seeking to mitigate the negative side-effects caused by “platform capitalism” in their neighborhoods and local communities. These side-effects include gentrification, privatization of public space, inherent conflicts between visitors/tourists and residents/locals, environmental damage, and precarious working conditions, among others. Thus, this paper explores why tourism in Europe requires new business and social models to neutralise this algorithmic disruption and modify the extractivist neoliberal logic in tourism to develop new, transformative, techno-political, bottom-up, and networked strategies stemming from the city-regional realm. Against the backdrop of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU that has recently taken effect on 25 May 2018, this paper argues that a new, transformative, tourism paradigm could emerge from the European political left. The push of the city-regional resurgence beyond established nation-states could enable grassroots and institutional tourism initiatives to take the lead and coordinate a political response to achieve further sustainable, equitable, and, ultimately, democratic technological sovereignty in diverse localities through Europe. In conclusion, this paper posits city-regional, bottom-up, and networked dynamics characterised by the GDPR as an opportunity to establish a new techno-political paradigm in tourism by overcoming data and algorithmic extractivist practices.

ABSTRACT: This article draws on the thorny topic of the Social Innovation (SI). Particularly, it revolves around the role of those social movements promoting the Basque language not only in relation to their organisational models but also to their holistic strategy to tackle inevitably digital, urban, and political challenges surfaced by the disruptions stemming from the post-COVID society.

Over the last decades, globalisation has led to a new class of global citizens. While the access to this global citizenship is still not spread evenly, many have enjoyed the freedom to move, work, and travel with no limits. However, this cosmopolitan globalisation rhetoric of a borderless world has been drastically slowed down by Covid-19. This pandemic has introduced a new level of uncertainty in global affairs and led many to question whether citizens will be able to continue enjoying the freedom of movement once the crisis is over.

AI is now an important component of sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, public administration and transportation, and is helping to address major challenges such as ageing and climate change. However, there is currently a lack of transparency in algorithmic governance systems, and this is worsened when these algorithms are integrated into already opaque governance structures in our cities. Moreover, over the past decade, the propagation of sensors and data collection machines in so-called ‘smart cities’ by both the public and the private sectors has created democratic challenges around AI, surveillance capitalism, and protecting citizens’ digital rights to privacy and ownership.

Territories is a new and innovative international journal that covers the evolution of theories, notions and concepts, facts and interpretations of empirical analysis related to the field of regional studies. The journal aims to publish original research from an interdisciplinary angle, which deals with the economic, socio-political, environmental and philosophical dimensions of urban and non-urban (post-national) regions. The specific goal of Territories stands on the study, debate and intellectual argument on how the global scenario provokes a new understanding, recognition and evolution of regional realities around the world, which go beyond the national concept. This journal will publish papers that engage with the economic and political conditions that have a founded impact towards regional realities, and vice versa. It is important to note that
this reverse angle is crucial to understand the global scene today. Territories represents a new agora where to bring critical perspectives that may help to understand and change the current hegemonic conditions.

Here is abstract of his presentation on 11th January 2018, in Boston, Massachusetts (USA).
Dr Calzada has been invited as an instructor and guest lecturer at the MIT Metro Lab Initiative Course 2018 in Boston, Massachussets. He will deliver a conference on Metropolitan Governance and Political Regionalism.
The workshop will stress the importance of transitions as a new “urban commons” narrative for urban infrastructure (housing, food, mobility, etc.), collaborative civilian empowerment, network governance, alternative finance, urban co-operatives, energy grassroots mobilisation, data-driven sovereignties/devolution, urban welfare, and urban development. Additionally, the workshop will focus on questions of urban governance and will explore different frameworks for governing common urban resources.
Hence, after consideration of the above, we should also ask whether another urban governance model is possible, a ‘third way’ of urban experimentation between state and market (Keith & Calzada, 2017; Keith & Calzada, 2016; Dellenbaugh et al., 2016).
This is the final workshop of the series ‘Bridging European Urban Transformations 2016-2018’ that has been coordinated by Dr Igor Calzada. To conclude, this workshop series:
• aimed to bring about academics and non-academics to reflect on urban challenges affecting cities and regions in Europe.
• emphasized an interdisciplinary dialogue, bridged the gap between theory and practice, and encouraged knowledge exchange between academics, policymakers, citizens, and activists.
• built on the first, second, third, and fourth Brussels workshop of the ESRC Urban Transformations programme and formed part of a series of interventions in partnership.

it
is
always
poliTcally
constructed)
(Williams,

COLLAPSE
“I don't want to run the risk of having a confrontation in real life so if I
have it on Facebook they can take it in, deal with it themselves, and
then it's over and done with and I never had to say anything.” – Robert*

91. 1. We need more ‘big’ methodologies, not more big data.
2. Work out what problems need fixing.
3. Find collective leaderships.
4. The tech is probably the easiest bit to fix: Who pays, who drives the changes, who
should be involved?
5. Share data at district micro level to foster an ecosystem for innovation in cities.
6. Design from the bottom up: How?
7. Get urban stakeholders on board (Penta Helix)
8. New challenge: Tailored business and replicable models.
9. More intensity in the learning process with other cities than producing useless
apps.
10. Future of the the Smart City: Towards Prosumer entrepreneurial ‘smart’ cities?
