Focus areas

Designing urban safety

We know that the feeling of security is the bellwether of a healthy society, so how can we create sustainable safety solutions for a transforming future? Be there to experience an interactive look at the future of public safety design that is thrillingly hopeful. From crime-fighting lightning to a new direction on cooperative safety, we have summoned the movements and mindsets emerging today.

Making public spaces

What does it take to construct public places where people want to be, thinking not as an urban planner, but as a citizen, to enhance both productivity and livability of cities? We look for answers to the question of what a sustainable public space looks like and search for new viewpoints on the role of urban areas in a rapidly evolving future.

Reinventing city governance

The city is the most complex human system there is, yet its governance is where we sometimes find the most traditional kinds of technology. The time is right for a new direction in city development. We’re inventing city governance for a rapidly evolving world of smart cities, in a variety of events, talks and activities aiming to inspire and tell the story about how cities gain power over their own governance.

H22 Summit is a meeting point for the smart city ecosystem, welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds.
