Among the many events in Ars Electronica 2017 - we will make reportages and reviews in the n-blog, like the last year - there is a workshop about the small cities as engines of innovation, The Small Cities Forum. The Small Cities Forum is an initiative of Pordenone Design Week and Ars Electronica Linz to promote the power of the small cities and to provide a place for the exchange of experiences and best practice models.
