A living Lab for the city of the future
The Hague has built a simulator for the city of the future, where we can investigate, test and learn how we can use new technology and digital solutions for challenges in the city. In a lively neighbourhood of the city, we have designed and constructed smart city infrastructure (power and fiber) and smart hubs and now, we are developing use cases on safety, security, mobility, ethical questions and many more in order to learn what the effects of it is on legal questions, governance or maintenance for example. We have a ever growing list of cooperation partners and also students are welcome to learn together with us.
Smart The Hague
Expertise center in formation. Working on an integrated approach with multi-disciplinary teams on digital innovation and new technologies, that can be used to face the challenges of the municipality like smart mobility, energy-transition, safety & security and environmental issues. The most important project at this moment is the creation of a Field Lab, Living Lab Scheveningen, which serves as a simulator for the city of the future and provides a testing environment to learn about a variety of new aspects, whether legal, ethical, technical or governance-related.
