Save the Date/Call for papers Sustainability means inclusivity: Engaging citizens in early stage smart city development Closing Festival 13-14 June 2022, Norrköping, Sweden During 13-14 June 2022 the “Sustainability means inclusivity” closing festival will be organized in Norrköping, Sweden. With this event, we aim to think about how sustainability and inclusivity go hand-in-hand when it comes to the successful long-term adoption of smart city technologies. By this we mean: A sustainable urban environment depends as much on creating an inclusive space that is safe, accessible and comfortable for a diverse group of citizens as it does on deploying “smart” technologies for energy efficiency or environmental protection. This festival marks the closing phase of a research project during which an experienced interdisciplinary team has been engaging with citizens, technical developers and “top down” stakeholders around a smart city test site in Norrköping, Sweden to bring together different needs and visions for the urban space. The closing festival aims to create dialogue between citizens, researchers and other stakeholders through a lively and engaging program of events focused around the themes of citizen science and urban gardening. The festival is organized in collaboration with the Cities 5.0 ( https://liu.se/en/research/cities-50) and Smart City & Digital Sovereignty ( https://liu.se/en/article/smart-city-digital-sovereignty) research networks. The two days include presentations, kids’ activities, citizen science sessions, urban gardening, time to network, work-in-progress paper discussions and much more, all organized around sessions with our inspiring speakers (see below). *The “Sustainability means inclusivity” project team now invite abstracts for work-in-progress paper sessions around the topic of “Engaging citizens in early stage smart city development”.
