在过去的几年里，“智慧城市”一词在学术界、工业界和关于在城市环境中部署新媒体技术的政策辩论中获得了关注。它主要用于描述和营销使城市基础设施更加高效并个性化城市体验的技术。在这里，我们想提出“所有权”的概念，作为一个镜头来换个角度来看待城市新媒体在城市中的作用。通过所有权的概念，我们寻求调查数字媒体和文化如何让公民参与、组织和针对集体问题采取行动，并参与共同创造城市的社会结构和建筑形式。以所有权为出发点，我们希望将关于新媒体技术在城市设计中的作用的争论从基础设施的角度扩大到社会的角度，或者从“城市管理”到“城市创造”。
Over the last few years, the term ‘smart cities’ has gained traction in academic, industry, and policy debates about the deployment of new media technologies in urban settings. It is mostly used to describe and market technologies that make city infrastructures more efficient, and personalize the experience of the city. Here, we want to propose the notion of ‘ownership’ as a lens to take an alternative look at the role of urban new media in the city. With the notion of ownership we seek to investigate how digital media and culture allow citizens to engage with, organize around and act upon collective issues and engage in co–creating the social fabric and built form of the city. Taking ownership as the point of departure, we wish to broaden the debate about the role of new media technologies in urban design from an infrastructural to a social point of view, or from ‘city management’ to ‘city making.’
