Fog and the City an urbanist's perspective
mesh networks
a network topology in which all nodes cooperate to distribute data
fog computing
peripherical clients/devices carry out (a substantial amount of) storage, communication, control, configuration, measurement, and management
fog computing is a distributed paradigm that provides cloud-like services to the network edge Source: Amir Vahid Dastjerdi, Rajkumar Buyya, Fog Computing: Helping the Internet of Things Realize its Potential
it leverages cloud and edge resources along with its own infrastructure Source: Amir Vahid Dastjerdi, Rajkumar Buyya, Fog Computing: Helping the Internet of Things Realize its Potential
fog for smart cities
smart grid
smart traffic lights and connected vehicles
wireless sensor and actuator networks
decentralized smart building control
iot and cyber-physical systems
software defined networks
why does it matter?
end users are involved in the computation effort
security
privacy concerns
the main security issues are authentication at different levels of gateways Source: Ivan Stojmenovic, Sheng Wen, The Fog Computing Paradigm: Scenarios and Security Issues
open source architecture
"vernacular" awareness
glocalism
developing/sharing best practices
involvement of...
inhabitants, professionals, NGOs, public agencies, researchers, activists, artists, sociologists, and urban scientists Source: https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/P2P_Urbanism
meant to study, construct, and repair the city in a way that anyone may choose, participate, share, and modify theories, methods, and implementation technologies at any one time Source: https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/P2P_Urbanism
civic engagement
in the disciplines of urban design and architecture, it is imperative to consider the social, environmental, and economic contexts in which they exist Source: Glenda Amayo Caldwell, Marcus Foth, Mirko Guaralda, An urban informatics approach to smart city learning in architecture and urban design education
around the world, civic engagement is paramount to promoting democracy and equity throughout urban planning, policy reform, and design Source: Glenda Amayo Caldwell, Marcus Foth, Mirko Guaralda, An urban informatics approach to smart city learning in architecture and urban design education
mesh networking only represents one small (albeit critical) part of the overall smart city infrastructure Source: Primavera De Filippi, Community Mesh Networks: Citizens' Participation in the Deployment of Smart Cities
technology can (and should) also be deployed to elaborate and deploy innovative systems of governance Source: Primavera De Filippi, Community Mesh Networks: Citizens' Participation in the Deployment of Smart Cities
a truly emancipatory technology should not only provide the means for citizens to become more independent and autonomous within their own city, but also to exercise greater control and oversight over the municipality Source: Primavera De Filippi, Community Mesh Networks: Citizens' Participation in the Deployment of Smart Cities
privacy/comfort trade-off?
quite the contrary Source: Primavera De Filippi, Community Mesh Networks: Citizens' Participation in the Deployment of Smart Cities
the need to align innovation policies for smart cities deployment with better urban development and greater citizen empowerment requires reconsidering the role of citizens as the central focus of smart cities development Source: Primavera De Filippi, Community Mesh Networks: Citizens' Participation in the Deployment of Smart Cities
the general approach to smart cities deployment must integrate the social component to the technical component Source: Primavera De Filippi, Community Mesh Networks: Citizens' Participation in the Deployment of Smart Cities
through the deployment of mesh networks, citizens can set up their own smart-city environments, by connecting several devices together in a decentralized fashion within a peer-to-peer network Source: Primavera De Filippi, Community Mesh Networks: Citizens' Participation in the Deployment of Smart Cities
without the need for a centralized authority Source: Primavera De Filippi, Community Mesh Networks: Citizens' Participation in the Deployment of Smart Cities
break free from closed-loop systems!
is the urbanist obsolete?
phigital approach
urban informatics
ensuring optimal resource distribution
interface local/global
easing the transition towards self-regulating communities
