In this episode, Michael Hammett, Director of the Office of Innovation at the City of Phoenix, Arizona, and Arturo Castello, Deputy Technical Director at Valencia Innovation Capital, delve into the concept of the Citiverse and how their cities are embracing human-centred innovation. Michael shares Phoenix’s challenge of creating shaded, heat-resilient pathways to enhance mobility and wellbeing in extreme temperatures, while Arturo discusses Valencia’s focus on reimagining playgrounds as inclusive, connected, and sustainable community spaces. Together, they explore the importance of co-creation with citizens, the role of digital twins, and how technology can be used meaningfully to shape liveable, future-ready urban environments.
