To this end, participants will engage with a media interface that utilizes smart city controversies to reflect on public values and ethics of responsibility. The workshop will consist of three steps: (1) engagement with the media interface, (2) debate on controversies and (3) reflection on desirable and (un)desirable smart city futures.
