This paper describes an urban experimentation initiative developed within the Fenicia Urban Living Lab (ULL) in Bogotá, Colombia, aimed at validating a technological innovation management model through a participatory cyber-physical system (CPS) for urban waste management. The model is designed to support the co-creation of socio-technical solutions in smart cities, especially in developing contexts. The experiment involves residents, drones, and mobile applications to generate georeferenced images of street waste, which are analyzed by a custom AI model to classify waste types and identify critical accumulation points. These insights are integrated into a Digital Twin (DT) platform built on 3D spatial models and geospatial analysis tools. The CPS is evaluated using a KPI framework aligned with three strategic objectives: Quality of Life, Productivity, and ICT-based Sustainability. Preliminary results show improved detection efficiency, increased citizen engagement, and the potential for data-driven decisions at the neighborhood level. Additionally, governance acts as a transversal enabler, strengthening stakeholder coordination and institutional learning. This paper advances the literature on Urban Living Labs and socio-technical experimentation by validating the proposed innovation management model in real urban conditions. It also expands the Waste–Energy–Information nexus, demonstrating how digital twins and participatory sensing can promote inclusive and circular urban transformations.

摘要

This paper describes an urban experimentation initiative developed within the Fenicia Urban Living Lab (ULL) in Bogotá, Colombia, aimed at validating a technological innovation management model through a participatory cyber-physical system (CPS) for urban waste management. The model is designed to support the co-creation of socio-technical solutions in smart cities, especially in developing contexts. The experiment involves residents, drones, and mobile applications to generate georeferenced images of street waste, which are analyzed by a custom AI model to classify waste types and identify critical accumulation points. These insights are integrated into a Digital Twin (DT) platform built on 3D spatial models and geospatial analysis tools. The CPS is evaluated using a KPI framework aligned with three strategic objectives: Quality of Life, Productivity, and ICT-based Sustainability. Preliminary results show improved detection efficiency, increased citizen engagement, and the potential for data-driven decisions at the neighborhood level. Additionally, governance acts as a transversal enabler, strengthening stakeholder coordination and institutional learning. This paper advances the literature on Urban Living Labs and socio-technical experimentation by validating the proposed innovation management model in real urban conditions. It also expands the Waste–Energy–Information nexus, demonstrating how digital twins and participatory sensing can promote inclusive and circular urban transformations.
