Michael: for me it is, absolutely for example, when we deal with concepts such as smart cities, we focus on human-centered smart cities, starting for example with this: http://www.artisopensource.net/network/artisopensource/2013/11/20/third-info... in which we show how we try to combine micro-historical approaches with the ones coming from ethnography and systems theory, to suggest (hopefully) interesting models in which to build participative and collaborative practices. Or for example this, in which we expand one particular case in which we have designed methods for places in which there is not much online social networking going on (and not much "online" at all): http://www.artisopensource.net/network/artisopensource/2014/07/30/communicat... In this sense, we are also trying to give form to supporting practices for these methods, which we are calling of P2P Ethnography And, as a further example, we are trying to infer from our findings in multiple cities (Rome, Sao Paulo, Malmö, Montreal, Toronto, New Haven, Hong Kong and starting just now in Berlin) a set of hypotheses according to which we can capture the flows of information, knowledge, opinion and emotion which are functional to organize participatory actions and processes in the human-driven smart-city (and, thus, in the smart community) for example here: http://human-ecosystems.com/home/relations-in-the-human-ecosystems-cultures-... (in this there are many parts which are modeled on Actor Network Theory, and on the possibility to interpret such interactions as recombinant 2nd order cybernetic systems) In our working hypotheses these scenarios, to be feasible, need some profound intervention at the level of education (and that's why one of our main focuses is to perform workshops for multiple types of people, ranging from children, to students, artists, designers, young entrepreneurs, public administrators, architects, planners etc), as well as a reconsideration of the (fuzzy, dynamic, shifting) boundaries of what we describe as Public Space and Commons, as the opportunity to use this data in these ways, to actually enable smart communities, is proprietary or, to the least, privatized. This is why we propose the Ubiquitous Commons, to seriously start taking into account the transformation of commons and of public space in the age of ubiquitous technologies.

Very interesting, thanks!

With multiple organizations we have started to work on what we call the Ubiquitous Commons:

http://www.ubiquitouscommons.org/

And we are using the concept for our Human Ecosystems project:

http://human-ecosystems.com/home/

It would be wonderful to do some integration, also because we have already developed a series of tentative models for many of the things you talk about in the document, and it would be great to validate them also against this kind of model, and also to cross-pollinate some of the principles, techniques and results.

best, Salvatore
