SCP E08: The Agency of Citizens in Smart Cities, with Irina Anastasiu

In this episode I interviewed Irina Anastasiu, who describes herself as a perpetual chameleon. She has a wide and varied background, which is perfect for the Smart City space, and a genuine interest in citizen co-creation, so much so that she has created a framework to nurture this collaborative approach. This approach helps people see people as people and not just the organisations that they work for. Irina believes Smart Cities should include an integration of the small-scale projects with the larger ones, and build a shared vision that involves everyone. She has interesting views about how Australia's societal norms are refreshing and could help shape Australia's leadership in this space. As always, I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed making it!
