Citizens take part in innumerable co-creation initiatives in the private and the public domains, and more importantly in the hybrid blur where the one can’t be separated from the other.
These initiatives make use of recent concepts and developments, such as prosumer, bottom-up, peer-to-peer, start-up, social design, open design and design thinking.
From a city perspective the well-established creative city will merge with the smart city into a new ‘Co-creative City’.
From the citizen perspective the creative city and the smart city translates into the creative & smart citizen, shaping a ‘New Civic’.

Co-Creative
City
The strengthening of participatory society is a complex issue, connected to new concepts of citizenship, to the loss in belief is systems,
to social complexity – and to technological development.
The ‘civic potential’ is already being unleashed at an unprecedented scale in media (user generated content, Youtube), in handmade and homemade items (Etsy), in hospitality (Airbnb), transport (UberPop).
The next decade citizens will take part in innumerable co-creation initiatives in the private and the public domains, and more importantly in the blur where the one can’t be separated from the other.
The contribution of citizens to a better society can grow, driven by their needs, wishes and dreams, and supported by new ways of working together and new technologies.
These initiatives will make use of recent concepts and developments, such as prosumer, bottom-up, peer-to-peer, start-up, social design, open design and design thinking.
A notion that could stand for this is Co-creative City.

Smart
City
Governance
Smart City Governance is a huge theme addressing complex issues from the reinvention of democracy, new social contracts and administrative reforms, new hybrid forms of government (administrative reforms ) and self-organisation.
Smart City Practices can address areas such as health, mobility, energy, education, water and other commons.
* How can technology be used to solve problems in society?
* How will citizens contribute to building a smart city?
* How will this impact urban infrastructure and vice versa?
* Can co-creation be more then the outsourcing of social responsibility?
* How can we upgrade the city makers movement out of the playground dealing with the symptoms of today’s socio-economic shifts?

CIVIC
From the citizen perspective this could translate into the creative & smart citizen, shaping a ‘New Civic’.
The Co-creative City and the creative & smart citizen will be able to take new approaches to problems and challenges concerning arts, culture and heritage, economy and work, education and science, ecology and energy, health and well-being, infrastructure, housing and transport, and privacy and safety.
Jointly they will redefine the relations between politics, government, civil society and the market.
These issues are very actual in the Netherlands, the welfare state is making way for the participatory society, and state power is shifting to the cities, which, with more than 60 per cent of the population, are the premier sites of innovation and economic power.
