MOs_Managed Operation Services
City-as-a-Service (CaaS)
What if we could have the control of our own services (Energ / Mobility / Waste / Safety…)?
What if we were able to exchange services as we like?
What if I generate a surplus of energy that I don't need but I can exchange it by other services?
How would be the everyday life if we could exchange services in real time?
How that would affect the decision to rent or buy a flat?
If this were to be applied, how the planning process would take place?
All of these questions came up to our mind when we were thinking 'What is' City as a service?' Helsinki opened applications to be part of its experiment to become the World's First City as a Service.
Ego to Eco concept
As a result of this our project tries to tackle concepts such as change on the way we understand the governance on the systems, making citizens actives managers and producers of these services and the further relationships between citizens, communities and other agencies. Technology (Internet of Things), Productivity (Community Empowerment and Local Networks) and Cooperative (Planning approach and collaborative self-sufficiency) are the driving points to create this digital system that tries to established physical relationships between the users.
