Description of the initiative

In February 2020 will be held in Toronto the ninth International Workshop organized by the Institute Without Boundaries at George Brown College in partnership of many Schools around the world including Politecnico di Milano's School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering (AUIC) and School of Design.
The workshop will take place at George Brown College in Toronto, Canada, from 18th of February 2020 and will focus on the theme about visualize and propose design solutions and scenarios for Ethical Smart Cities.
As technology becomes further integrated into our daily lives and culture, this is an opportunity to use design as a method of to understanding and exploring emerging trends and forces, and re-imagine a more ethical, inclusive and sustainable future that redefines the future of cities in the context of the 21st century.
The current dialogue around Smart Cities focuses heavily on the integration of ICT infrastructure, however, more robust visions of smart cities include emerging technologies such as clean energy and biotechnology, which have the potential to transform the way we plan, develop, construct and live in cities.
