Cities can be considered as “complex systems”, since they are characterized by multiple connected elements and by relations among them not always recognizable. The massive presence of digital technologies in urban spaces that transform them into “hybrid” spaces makes cities even more complex. This article shows some of the challenges that arise in this new context (for example: rethinking the people experience in the urban spaces; developing new “urban competences” using in an effective way the large amount of produced data; focusing on the human aspects rather than the technological ones; thinking of sustainable solutions from the economic, social and economic point of view; etc.) and it proposes the application of collaborative design frameworks that can offer specific tools and methodologies to face them.

Abstract
Cities can be considered as “complex systems”, since they are characterized by multiple connected elements and by relations among them not always recognizable. The massive presence of digital technologies in urban spaces that transform them into “hybrid” spaces makes cities even more complex. This article shows some of the challenges that arise in this new context (for example: rethinking the people experience in the urban spaces; developing new “urban competences” using in an effective way the large amount of produced data; focusing on the human aspects rather than the technological ones; thinking of sustainable solutions from the economic, social and economic point of view; etc.) and it proposes the application of collaborative design frameworks that can offer specific tools and methodologies to face them.Pubblicazioni consigliate
