In the last decades, cities and societies have been undergoing an unprecedented process of digitalization. This process impacts multiple dimensions of urban life: from high-level planning to service provision, from city-scale political discourses to day-to-day urban life. The implementation of “smart city” strategies has too often relied on ICT operators, confating this concept into a mere technical and digital matter that typically underestimates the implied political issues regarding democracy, justice, sustainability, and the way we understand human co-existence. The Critical Urban Digitalization seminar series brings together international experts to critically discuss the complexities and controversies of the digitalization/ smartness interplay and provide an overview of ongoing critical research and perspectives animating the current debate.

The past ten years have brought about significant changes to the planning, organization and implementation of mega-events. Following a period of regular and continuous growth, there is significant uncertainty regarding their future. This seminar will explore these issues through the presentation of recent research investigating different aspects – from the policy impact of the IOC’s Agenda 2020 on planning and development to the emerging effects of Milan-Cortina 2026 spreading events across multiple host cities and regions. The accompanying trends of growth and decline, as well as what the future may hold in terms of ongoing evolution, will be reflected upon and discussed.

How can cities rich in culture host mega-events without putting their own heritage at risk? How can mega-events become effective ways to promote and protect tangible and intangible heritage in Europe and beyond? Drawing on the HOMEE Research Project – winner of one of the European Heritage Award / Europa Nostra Awards 2022 in research – the seminar discusses these questions and their practical implications.
