Tale of two Cities: the Future of Applied Smart Cities on Cities and Towns - Barcelona and Beasain

Speaker: Iñaki Arbelaiz - CEO, Kuda! Kulture, Urbanism, Design+Architecture

Cities and towns are currently looking for new strategies to improve the quality of life and the quality of economic systems, that do not hamper subsistent social values. The tale of two cities shows how we are strengthening the concept of Smart City in the two latest projects we won and how data is changing the city space and the architecture in order to create new spaces and regain the quality of life. This will be shown in two distinctive cases: Barcelona, with more than 2 million inhabitants in the urban area [representing 75% of the urban population], and Beasain, a very potent industrial town in Gipuzkoa with 9.500 inhabitants.

Iñaki Arbelaiz [MSc Architecture and Urban Planning, MSc Interaction, PDD Business Development and Growth] is the CEO of KUDA! [culture+urbanism+design+architecture] and has been focused on city planning and the systems attached to cities. He is part of the board of several territorial management and policy councils and has been collaborating with the cities of Barcelona, London and Rotterdam on the development of the public space and strategic plans for the environmental building and energy on several levels. His prior experiences include Project Architect and Project Manager positions at many organizations like EEA Rotterdam, EEA Moscow, EEA Budapest, OMA Rotterdam and Llinás in Barcelona, working in several countries and cities such as Moscow, Barcelona, Rotterdam, Milan, Dubai and South Korea.
