Dr Calzada took part in the panel 'The city as a technology consumer. Vision 2030' in the programme of the Open Innovation Forum 2015 in Moscow (Russia) by presenting this '10 Provocations to Design Strategies of our (Smart) Cities' and quoting the journal article 'Unplugging: Deconstructing the Smart Cities' via Journal of Urban Technology. This presentation is a full version of the presentation he delivered two days later in the Museum of Moscow in front of an wide entrepreneurial audience.

90. 4. Final Remarks (10):
Some Homework
By @icalzada

91. 1. We need more ‘big’ methodologies, not more big data.
2. Work out what problems need fixing.
3. Find collective leaderships.
4. The tech is probably the easiest bit to fix: Who pays, who drives the changes, who
should be involved?
5. Share data at district micro level to foster an ecosystem for innovation in cities.
6. Design from the bottom up: How?
7. Get urban stakeholders on board (Penta Helix)
8. New challenge: Tailored business and replicable models.
9. More intensity in the learning process with other cities than producing useless
apps.
10. Future of the the Smart City: Towards Prosumer entrepreneurial ‘smart’ cities?
