The Smart Chicago Collaborative is dedicated to enhancing Chicago's quality of life through technology, focusing on internet access, digital skills, and data since its founding in 2011. A key initiative involved the Array of Things civic engagement project, which sought resident input on sensor technology and privacy policies through public meetings and feedback collection. The document highlights the importance of effective communication and transparency in engaging communities for smart city development.

- 12. Case: The Array of Things Civic Engagement Project Smart Chicago led the civic engagement process to educate residents and gather input from communities on new sensor technology in Chicago. We hosted public meetings in libraries and collected feedback on the Array of Things Governance & Privacy Policies in person and online. We documented everything and published an Engagement Report summarizing resident feedback. #NetInclusion | @DKLinn | @SmartChicago

Goals for this Work To educate Chicago about the Array of Things project, process, the potential of the research, and the sensors’ capacities To gather public input on the Draft Array of Things Privacy Policy To gather community input on the livability factors most of interest to them and most pressing to their neighborhoods To work openly and contribute to the national conversation about privacy, the Internet of Things and civic engagement in smart city building #NetInclusion | @DKLinn | @SmartChicago
- 22. Lessons in Engagement with Smart City Projects Engaging & informing at the same time is a challenge. There is a trade-off between technical transparency & accessibility. Communicate the value of technology in use cases. Also be clear about what the technology doesn’t do in addition to what it does do. Be tool agnostic about collecting public feedback. Meet people where they are. #NetInclusion | @DKLinn | @SmartChicago
