In 1982, Florence, Italy, was named a UNESCO world heritage site and the city was essentially frozen in time...
In 2007, Re:Imagine's Creative Director, Christine Outram, took part in MIT's Digital City Workshop. The workshop asked the question: how can digital technologies be used to improve livability and sustainability in a city which can no longer be physically changed. What resulted and was later published were 7 'high-tech' ideas for the neighborhood of Oltrarno: mobility-on-demand; intelligent trash; greening spaces; creating tangible networks; re-crafting craft; sound and lightscapes; and twenty-first century gates.
