Smart City Safari App

2018

What is the future of architecture and urban planning in our hyper-digital era? The ubiquity of smart phones and the internet of everything (IoT) are producing colossal amounts of data that, when used responsibly, become blueprints of how to build sustainable and inclusive cities like Amsterdam - now home to many new ‘species’ of technology and innovation. 

What if citizens had Smart City “Safari” in their pocket to discover 21st solutions in their natural habitat to learn how they are making smart cities like Amsterdam more responsive and resilient. For the first time, the public will be able to explore a whole new invistible layer of our city.

Solution

Tapp teamed up with AR (Augmented Reality) developers to reveal the many layers of our digital surroundings. 

With your own phone you’ll be able to locate the many air & water quality sensors, citizen kits, LoRa transmitters, eBike sharing, iBeacons, Smart Waste, Blue Roofs, clean tech and many more living smart city solutions. During this 30-40 minute walk we’ll be exploring the business cases like “What problem does this device solve for the city?”, “How do these technologies impact architects and urban planners?”, “How do the citizens benefit from these solutions?”.
