Future City Ulm - Phase 3 "Internet of Things for ALL

The accompanying communication science research of phase 3 examines how successful communication can be achieved in the regional transformation process of the future city of Ulm. The aim is to involve existing and new user groups of the information services in a continuous communication and interaction with the actors of the future city of Ulm, and to do so where changes are to take place - in real life and in the digital world. An integral part of the real-life laboratories of the Future City of Ulm is bi-directional communication with the aim of changing the behaviour of the citizens. This requires a system knowledge of user groups and an understanding of the situational, cultural, social and historical contexts that influence the perception of communicative messages of the future city. In order to measure the effectiveness of communication, approaches that have been tested in the corporate context so far will be adapted to the requirements of the city of the future.
The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and supervised by the German Aerospace Center (DLR). (DLR) as the project management organisation.
