Third Theme: Co-Creation

The speaker explained that co-creation is an important theme of smart cities. It is a

form of economic strategy, that brings different parties, the government, citizens,

communities and NGOs to work together to bring change. He highlighted about
Double Deck Car Park project to overcome limited parking spaces around city,

neighbourhood, high rise office buildings and shopping malls. The proposal was an
output from people coming together to discuss it and to make a decision based on the

IAP2’S Public Participation Spectrum, which is fast becoming an international
standard, as shown in Figure 2. Full page version of IAP2’s Public Participation

Spectrum is in ATTACHMENT 3.

Mr. Foth further explained about City 1.0 where initially citizens conformed to what the

government decide and provide them, government served as administrators and

people are residents who just lived there. In City 2.0, the government provide services
similar to corporations and the people are consumers. However, a city is more than

just a corporation and city’s development thrives on people’s idea that comes from
different background. Hence the notion of City 3.0 and City 4.0 exist where

government recognise their role has evolved to be a facilitator and collaborator,
meanwhile the citizens are active participants who are empowered to bring change to

the society and co-create with the government.
