I’ll be presenting material from recent research in a slot titled Co-ordination in the Future Urban that will explore how just-in-time co-ordination of people, sensor rich objects and services will challenge today’s notions of infrastructure, ownership, time and privacy. It’s a journey that has led us to, and learn from communities in mega cities like Cairo, Chongqing and Tokyo and one that I fully expect to be shaped from conversations in Pasadena.
