Digital Literacy | KnightComm: Strengthening journalism, communities and democracy in the digital age. WeJIT – The Power in We. (21) Civicness in the governance and delivery of social services | Taco Brandsen. Preface This volume is the result of a European network of excellence calledCINEFOGO (Civil society and New Forms of Governance). The network wassubsidized by the European Union from 2004 to 2009 and brought together over 200 researchers from 45 institutes across Europe to work in 50 ‘work packages’ and ensure a greatly increased output in the shape of planning ses-sions, workshops, conferences, policy briefings, publications and so forth (see www.cinefogo.org for a comprehensive list). We, the authors of this book,started our discussions as organizers of a work package entitled ‘Between Stateand Citizens – The role of Third Sector Organisations in the Governance andProduction of Social Services’ in the Deutsche Bahn lounge of Cologne Centralrailway station in the Spring of 2006.
Lounge in Cologne and through many e-mails. Sunlight Foundation. How do you Make an Intelligent City? The 24 Hour City Project. Through technology we have created new ways to collect, show, and share data. Beyond that dry term, “data”, is a vast range of possibility, and gamification is demonstrating how we can show and share information in the hopes of becoming more fit, more healthy, and more knowledgable.
These are largely personal goals made social through technology, but what of inherently social goals? How can we use these new technologies to create better services, better communities, and better cities? Earlier this year, iStrategyLabs, the National Buildings Museum, IBMs Smarter City Program, and Time Magazine came together to ask “What makes an intelligent city?” Bonnie Shaw, Director of Social Innovation at iStrategyLabs, shared the beginnings of a project that tries to answer this question–the 24 Hour City Project. The group came together to discuss the use of technology in the environment and for the future of our cities, but they did not stop at discussion.
