The initiative is an integral part of the Responsive Environments and Artifacts Lab (REAL) at Harvard GSD. The initiative&nbsp;employs a design-led approach with a close contribution from social sciences to understand and assess how new technologies and digital augmentation affect different aspects of the city \u2012 the infrastructure, the operations and the people \u2012 and make it smarter. The research&nbsp;assumes that the inner intelligence of a city starts from its community and its built environment, and technology, tools and digital infrastructures augment what the specific community has to offer. Putting the human being at the center and forefront, researchers at REAL and UNIBG investigate how new technologies can emphasize the qualities of the city in order to enhance the relationship between the individual and the urban environment, eventually creating new and mindful experiences for citizens within their everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RESEARCH
