Two main axis will be developed during the colloquium : on the first day, this scientific event will attempt to draw an archaeology of the concepts that are at the basis of the so called Smart City, the second day will focus on social dynamics and processes of public participation within the city when facing digital. A concluding round table including members of the scientific committee will be attended.

The 7th Knowledge Cities World Summit (KCWS-2014) will be held in Tallinn, Estonia, which has been awarded as one among Top 7 Intelligent Communities in 2013. Estonia is often called "e-Estonia" to describe Estonia's emergence as one of the most advanced e-societies in the world and Estonians have the privilege to enjoy a large range of e-solutions and services. Since Estonia is willing to be the example for others who wish to follow the same path, the theme of "knowledge-based services" is selected as the overall theme of KCWS-2014.
