Keynote: Releasing the Untapped Potential
Cities have many untapped potentials. On the one hand, they are vibrant places, facilitating the ‘urban buzz’ with new ideas and innovations floating around freely. They are great places for youngsters, newcomers and those with specific skills or specific needs. However, they are also places with the highest levels of poverty and unemployment. With people who do not seem to be able to benefit from overall progress and mainly experience a lack of affordable housing. How can we make the Reinvented City an inclusive place, that can benefit from and is beneficial to all her residents? The untapped potential also refers to the prospective role that cities can play in (intern)national transitions: how can we make cities beneficial for our nations and the world as a whole? Many cities are frontrunners in finding new ways to become for example more carbon neutral and circular. To do so, they often need to overcome national and international barriers i.e. in terms of rules and legislations. What can we learn from these frontrunners, such as Stockholm, and how can they be breeding grounds for new social and technological innovations that can be upscaled in city-regions and far beyond.

Reflection - Senseable City Laboratory and Carlo Ratti Associati
The way we live, work, and play is very different today than it was just a few decades ago, thanks in large part to a network of connectivity that now encompasses most people on the planet. In a similar way, today we are at the beginning of a new technological revolution: the Internet is entering the physical space – the traditional domain of architecture and design – becoming an "Internet of Things" or IoT. As such, it is opening the door to a variety of applications that – in a similar way to what happened with the first wave of the Internet – can encompass many domains: from production to citizen participation, from energy to mobility to public hygiene, all of which requiring new insights due to the changes brought forth by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The contribution from Prof. Carlo Ratti will address these issues from a critical point of view through projects by the Senseable City Laboratory, a research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the design office Carlo Ratti Associati.

Panel discussion
How can we reach this reinvented city, how do we get there? If anything, it is clear we can only reach this together by collaborating and participating and inviting everyone to join. What do we need for this in terms of governance instruments, rules and regulations and perhaps new norms and values? How can we make processes, but also technologies inclusive and how can we make things easier instead of more complex when citizens, or companies, want to make a difference? This morning, Pallas Agterberg (Liander), Eefje Cuppen (Leiden University), Pepijn Duijvestein (New Economy) and Pieter Kool (Carbon Studio's) discuss how we can reinvent our cities.
