How to Become a Thought Leader in Your NicheLeslie Samuel
Are bloggers thought leaders? Here are some tips on how you can become one. Provide great value, put awesome content out there on a regular basis, and help others.
Prologue to "Better Cities, Better Life" book that is going to be published in the following months.
The Prologue Chapter is called "Urban Innovation: A Decalogue to Explore a City" (Igor Calzada)
The Sustainable Neighbourhoods in the Digital AgeDavid Rudlin
A presentation given at Ecobuild in March 2014 in the Future Cities Strand. This was part of a seminar entitled The Sustainable Neighbourhoods in the Digital Age that was chaired by Chris Brown of igloo. The aim of the presentation is to explore the potential effect of smart technology on the design of cities drawing on the experience of what happened in previous technological revolutions from the railway to the telephone and the car.
How do we make use of new media technologies in urban design? At the conference Social Cities of Tomorrow (Amsterdam 17-2-2012) we propose the concept of the social city as an alternative design approach to 'smart cities'.
This presentation is a quick overview of the results from a workshop about how people move/interact in the city of Torino. It was discussed in a panel with Bruce Sterling and Geoff Manaugh at the "i realize conference".
Non Riservato promotes innovation in public places, through its members and the community: organizations, cooperatives, professionals and companies, that make jobs out of creativity, a transformative urban and social tool.
The network brings together those who share its philosophy and aims, who want to experience new organizational and production models, but also who have a common desire to take back their public spaces, through creativity and participatory processes.
The development of Non Riservato is made possible thanks to the contribution of Fondazione Cariplo and the partnership with the City of Milan. The project collaborates with the University of Milano Bicocca (Department of Sociology and Social Research) and Politecnico of Milano (Department of Architecture and Urban Studies).
What does NR do?
Non Riservato creates projects that connect all the different capacities of its members: public art, urban games, urban sports, performance, street art, architecture and design. The projects have the common features of all taking part in public spaces; they start processes of re-appropriation, creative involvement of participants and develop socialization and facilitate meetings.
Non Riservato acts as an incubator, mostly through bidding of development and prototyping for new projects.
Non Riservato also involves external partners to carry out strategic projects. Non Riservato follows its strategic lines, by working on a commission basis with the public and the private entities, that need services or projects with a highly creative and social impact.

Cultural Heritage
By understanding collective cultural heritage and shared humanity across time and geographic place citizens understand their obligation to be better stewards of a global future. When citizens understand their cultural legacy they can preserve the culture and traditions associated with the legacy. For example Americans have a shared heritage that involves protecting the citizen’s fundamental right to life, liberty, and justice. Through the strides made in guaranteeing the citizen freedom through the American culture, citizens across the globe now recognize their right to freedom. This aspect of American culture will be preserved for future generations because it is an essential part of the American legacy.
Being better stewards of a global future involves understanding and recognizing the aspects of the collective culture that benefit humanity and the aspects that can disappear. Preserving aspects of a culture is important to understanding humanities past as well as guising humanities future. When there is a better understanding of humanities cultural heritage, citizens from across the globe will have greater awareness of the different and unique cultures available in the world and be more accepting (Cole, 2011). When citizens are more accepting of other cultures lessons are learned from past behaviors good or bad. For example the world learned that the German Nazi culture did not work and was inhumane. This culture aspect was then rejected by the global society.
Understanding cultural differences across time and throughout the world promotes diversity and a multicultural society which in turn promotes a world that has less discrimination and ignorance (Aworeni, 2012). When there is aspects of a society that work they can be embraced by future societies, such as democracy, but when their aspects of a culture that result in the inhumane conditions for citizens this behavior can be rejected by the global society. It is essential to safeguard our cultural heritage but it is also important to learn from the mistakes of past societies. Each culture should be preserved to ensure that unique societies exit in the world and to understand who we are and where we are going.

The single culture artifact that represents the present culture is the computer. In a society where everything is focused on the new innovative, technological discovery there is on.
Pietro Polsinelli discusses a diverse set of applied game projects that he curated, focusing on common mistakes and solutions that are specific to the applied game process, in particular working with field experts that have no experience with games. The talks will consider the (no)estimation, concept, design and production phases/loops, providing tips, modelling and conceptual tools to improve the quality of the process and of the resulting game.

In the context of a #fuckupnight in Florence at Impact HUB, I presented a half serious formula for reconstructing my spectacular crowd funding failure.
We review Autography design as an exemplary case of persuasive application. We immerse it in the context of applied and persuasive games built around gameful mechanics and interactive learning. We then contrast it with superficial gamification efforts. We propose some guidelines for an effective process of cooperative design and process for these complex media productions.
Working with a no longer minuscule set of customers on applied games of a really wide spectrum of themes I've noticed in the early phases some misunderstanding that recur. In order to help both parties (game designers and field experts) to reach a common ground, I've set the misunderstandings in extreme and simplified form so you may use them as vaccine :-)
Game Design for Product Ideas and UI Design: we consider game design as a tool for design. Not as as an "add on" (= gamification), but a deep analysis tool.
We’ll review and apply videoludic techniques to non strictly ludic contexts, focusing on the many roles storytelling can play in games and outside games.

5. "Smart cities" are
mainly an IBM, Cisco
& Siemens project.
The rhetoric of the
Smart City is entirely
fabricated by
corporations:
there are no citizens
behind it
Urban reformation is today often associated with
the Smart City (pseudo) concept.
