Further Information on the Framework of the Call
More than 70% of the EU’s citizens live in urban areas: cities and urban areas are centres of economic development, services, knowledge and creativity. The public space is the soul of the City, the place where all its features come together. It is an area of overlap and interconnection, the place where the character and the culture of a Society is materialized. If the public space we inhabit today was basically constructed prior or during the Industrial Revolution, the Information Society is now beginning to bring new principles and technologies with which to rethink the functioning and structure of the streets, avenues, squares and parks.
Public space can now be transformed in Active Public Space, fostering people interaction with flows of energy, materials, services and finances to catalyse sustainable economic development, resilience, and high quality of life. Smart Urban Technologies are essentials for the change and consist on a combination of software and hardware that allow real-time data capture, energy generation, storage and reuse, material adaptability, real-time management of time-uses and citizen-space interaction.
APS (Active Public Space) is an EU co-founded project with the aim of developing knowledge on Active Public Space.
Conduced by IAAC (Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, Barcelona - www.iaac.net), CCEA (Centre for Central European Architecture, Prague - www.ccea.cz) and UAAV (University of Applied Arts Vienna - www.dieangewandte.at)
