van Kranenburg, R. et al. (2020). Future Urban Smartness: Connectivity Zones with Disposable Identities. In: Augusto, J.C. (eds) Handbook of Smart Cities. Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-15145-4_56-1
We tie the Smart Cities concept to the On-Life human-centered vision. The need to provide citizen-focused empowering visions of smart cities planning and development is very much needed, especially when a post-COVID environment requires urban growth “resets” within stringent sustainability limits. Our selected case studies describe some of these current challenges. Two novel utopian visions of technology are proposed: urban “cold spots” and “disposable identities.” The aim is to safeguard human digital rights in the digital smart urban sphere: our cherished freedom of expression, privacy, autonomy, and civic assembly. The chapter has three parts, the limits of smartness; the IoT, 5G, and 6G technology developments of cyber physical systems; and the need to choose a suitable form of identity management. Authors bring together their intradisciplinary approach.
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AND POLICIES: SUPPORTING THE INDO-PACIFIC-EUROPEAN DIGITAL PARTNERSHIPS With the participation of high-profile technical and policy experts
European Union – India – Singapore – Republic of Korea – Japan

The mission of the INPACE project is to support the implementation of the Digital Partnerships between the European Union and Japan, South Korea, Singapore, as well as the Trade and Technology Council with India. In this context, we are organising a 2-day Symposium in Seoul, Republic of Korea on Digital Technologies and Policies: Supporting the Indo-Pacific-European Digital Partnerships.
Join us at the forefront of digital innovation as we explore the latest advancements in digital technologies and transformative applications in the Indo-Pacific Region and in Europe. The event will address the intersections of technology and policy, fostering dialogues between experts from both regions to strengthen digital partnerships with the Republic of Korea, Japan, Singapore, and the cooperation with India in the TTC context.
The Symposium will provide a forum to discuss groundbreaking technologies and their impacts:
• Trusted AI: Unlock the potential of AI while ensuring reliability and ethics
