Our world is becoming increasingly shaped by technology. It it all around us: in our digital lives and in the physical spaces we move through every day. Sometimes it's easy to spot - think of traffic lights, street lamps, metro gates, or security cameras - but often it fades into the background. So much of it has become part of e veryday life that we hardly notice it anymore. The technological city is s till all around us.

Join our walk The technological ci ty on July 2 during Waag Open. Using a route map, you'll walk through different places in the neighborhood and explore how technology has becom e part of everyday life in the city. What data do you leave behind as you move through the city? Who is watching? Which systems quietly shape what h appens in public space? And is a city full of technology equally accessibl e to everyone?

The walk invites you to look at your surroundings in a new way and reflect on the role of technology in the city. Together we explore the question: what kind of technological world do we want to live in? — Come walk us!
