Abstract

This year’s keynote for the Eurocities Culture Forum will explore the different modes of connection (SMART cities, traversable cities, citizenship) and some of the questions or contradictions they raise for cities and their cultural governance. As we navigate connectivity in the digital and physical realms within and between cities and regions, we may wonder if we (as citizens, policymakers, cultural professionals) can ever properly understand the human scale of our connections or what limits we might want to place on being connected.
