Do not forget to include your contact details. Moreover we would like to ask you to address the following questions: How does your project “smarten up” your city? Why does your city need your project and what challenges are specific to your country-specific urban context? What are the new behaviours your building, planning, initiative encourages? Please forward this call for proposals to any colleagues who might be interested and feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you!
