<p style="margin:0cm"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The rapid urbanisation and smartization of the world brings challenges of designing urban futures that contribute to a sustainable and inclusive city
environment. Additional complexity arises from space and infrastructure constraints, the diverse user range and involvement of multiple stakeholders in the design process. While these technologies -- once created -- would shape the future of cities and human-
and non-human-citizens in the long run, we identify a lack of experience and knowledge exchange in the respective community regarding the addressing of smart city challenges from more than purely technical or topic-specific perspectives. With this workshop,
we aim to gather researchers and practitioners from the fields of Urban Informatics, Smart Urbanism, and Human-Computer Interaction to openly share experiences and to outline the design challenges that should be addressed first, with the values of sustainability
and inclusion as objectives for smart urban futures.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
