Francesca Bria - Barcelona’s Strategy for Digital Sovereignty: building the networked city from the ground up with citizens

What's Barcelona’s digital strategy? How can technology lead to more participation in democratic processes? Who should own and control city data? Can cities embrace a model that socializes data and encourages new forms of cooperativism and democratic innovation? How can cities promote joint initiatives by actors from the economy, civil society and politics, to ensure a sustainable, participatory and efficient digital transformation of governments and the economy? 
This session will discuss Barcelona Rebel City strategy focusing on the right to the smart city and a sustainable, participatory and efficient digital transformation. A new exciting vision of where city governments start to think and experiment with what technology would look like if it served the people.
