Navigating intersectional realities through smart urbanism: Gender, media and design

There’s still time to submit an abstract looking at the in- and exclusion of vulnerable groups, despite calls for more inclusion, in smart cities.
Navigating Intersection Realities through Smart Urbanism: Gender, Media and Design, will take place on 12 April 2023 at Utrecht University. Organised by Professor Ajay Bailey, Seama Mowri and Dr Michiel de Lange, it will bring together academics and practitioners from across disciplines to learn from smart urbanisms in the global south and street-level experience, and consider contributions to more inclusive smart urbanisms that reflect local histories, situations and needs.
