Our society has evolved over the millennia, with people congregating together in urban cities. However, along the way, the social cohesiveness has been lost and MyNeighbourhood aims at using ‘smart’ ICT services and citizen/neighbourhood generated data to help recreate the social mechanisms which, in the past, ensured that urban neighbourhoods coincided with a social system of connected and trusted communities, where the quality of life was very high and people felt safe and happy with a true sense of belonging. MyNeighbourhood combines new digital technologies and techniques, such as social gaming principles (gamification), with the Living Lab methodology, to help strengthen existing ties and resolve community issues in the very real, day-‐to-‐day world of the urban neighbourhoods. In so doing, it sets forth to unleash a new viral wave of locally driven innovations that will help make cities healthier, happier and smarter places to live.

Abstract
Our society has evolved over the millennia, with people congregating together in urban cities. However, along the way, the social cohesiveness has been lost and MyNeighbourhood aims at using ‘smart’ ICT services and citizen/neighbourhood generated data to help recreate the social mechanisms which, in the past, ensured that urban neighbourhoods coincided with a social system of connected and trusted communities, where the quality of life was very high and people felt safe and happy with a true sense of belonging. MyNeighbourhood combines new digital technologies and techniques, such as social gaming principles (gamification), with the Living Lab methodology, to help strengthen existing ties and resolve community issues in the very real, day-‐to-‐day world of the urban neighbourhoods. In so doing, it sets forth to unleash a new viral wave of locally driven innovations that will help make cities healthier, happier and smarter places to live.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
