According to Adam Greenfield, City WalkShop experiences are "Collective, on-the-ground, in-the-field discovery experiences around city spots intensive in data or information, during which people are analyzing openness and sharing/documenting the process online."
During City WalkShops, people with different perspectives — the architects, the designers and citizens — on the same city can come into direct contact with the technologists, the geeks who implant and manage the digital infrastructure on our behalf to explore and expand our understanding.
