Open University - Visual Communications

Описание: More and more cities are going ‘smart’ – using big data and digital technologies to improve their performance. But cities are also about people, and people are their greatest resource. So how can smart city stakeholders ensure that they engage the people that will make their smart projects work better? Many turn to visuals to win that engagement.

This video was created as part of the ‘Smart Cities in the Making’ research project, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council grant ES/N014421/1 and based at The Open University and the University of Oxford. A team of researchers investigated a range of smart city projects between 2017 and 2019. The video is part of their toolkit to enable visual communicators to engage city communities most effectively.
