"RAUMDIGITAL" podcast episode with Prof. Jörg Rainer Noennig: "Where Does the Smart City Stand? How Projects Turn into Knowledge"

A podcast recommendation: Dirk Engelke (University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland) was a guest at the Smart City Summer School, which was organized in September 2026 by WISSENSARCHITEKTUR - Laboratory of Knowledge Architecture in collaboration with the City of Dresden and the Smart City Science Network. He used the event to record interviews for a special episode of his podcast RAUMDIGITAL.

The first of two episodes is now online: “Where Does the Smart City Stand? How Projects Turn into Knowledge” (in German Language)

“In recent years, municipalities have implemented numerous smart city projects. But how much reliable knowledge has emerged from them? What do we actually know about the effects of smart cities, and how do individual project experiences become scientifically sound findings? Which findings can be generalized, and where do research questions remain? And how can these findings then be translated into practice?

In conversation with Dirk Engelke are WISSENSARCHITEKTUR Director Prof. Jörg Rainer Noennig and Dr. Ralf Schüle, Research Officer for “Digital City, Risk Prevention, and Transportation” at the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs, and Spatial Development (BBSR) and supervisor of accompanying research and evaluation for the national “Smart Cities Model Projects.”
