TUBÀ imagines and facilitates the development of the city of tomorrow with a diversity of actors (researchers, local authority, companies, the general public, etc.) by relying on digital cultures and data potential.

Carried by the organisation Lyon Urban Data, TUBÀ gathers more than 40 public and private members and uses methodologies at the crossroads of design and social sciences. The goal is to think and work in collaborative way with people.

It has several workspaces, including a coworking space housing a dozen startups, closed offices housing a dozen structures (organisations, cluster, metropolis services, private company, etc.) as well as a free coworking area open to all.
It is also a space for urban and digital education and events.

iGirouette – Smart wayfinding communication test

Period: September 2017 – September 2018
Summary: iGirouette is a digital signage device which aims to disseminate information about a neighbourhood, a mall, a factory area, an hospital or a convention center. It has been tested in the Confluence district since 2017.
Wishing to offer new services to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants and users of public spaces, the Metropole of Lyon has created a partnership with the company Charvet Digital Média. The aim was to test the relevance of this furniture in the local context and challenges (how to encourage people to use local transportation, how to help people to find their way on a building site etc.) The Metropole of Lyon called on TUBÀ to carry out an exploratory study of perceptions and uses of iGirouette. The aim of this studyfield was to find out how iGirouette is perceived by inhabitants in the Perrache-Confluence district and local actors (eg. museum)
Bearers: Métropole de Lyon
Partners: Charvet Digital Média
Results: Drafting of recommendations in response to the objectives to be achieved

DIGITAL EDUCATION

By creating suitable framework for reflections and actions, TUBÀ allows young and old alike to investigate the urban and digital issues of our time. Conferences, round tables, workshops and exhibitions are thus regularly organised inside and outside the walls.

Digital Education Cycle – Free Software: THE answer to the use of our personal data?

Period: February 2020– April 2020
Summary: Whether we are aware of it or not, we are creating data when we are surfing on the internet. Those data are collected, enhanced and used, neither with our explicit consent nor our full knowledge about their use. During this cycle of digital education, we wished to inform people about the stakes linked to this data processing:
What are these data? How can they be used? How do we set up our tools to control the transmission of this data? Are there alternative tools?
For this last question, our wish was to highlight free software: the various free tools available, their philosophy but also the notion of effort linked to their appropriation.
Bearers: TUBÀ
Partners: April, Plos-RA,Framasoft, INSA
Results: Workshops, articles, conferences.

Digital Education Cycle – Gender, city and digital

Period: October 2017– November 2017
Summary: As the years go by, our cities evolve and modernise and yet gender inequalities seem to be frozen in time. However, digital technologies and cultures could be a great tool to help us become an egalitarian society. Through workshops and roundtables, we started from the current situation, to discover collaborative digital tools to fight against these inequalities, with others committed actors, in order to continue to raise awareness on this subject.
Bearers: TUBÀ
Partners: Agarcia, Option Leader
Results: Animation d’un atelier de “Data visualization” : Vécus et pratiques de la cour de récréation à destination de 30 collégiens
Lecture: “Gender, City and Digital” – “How can the city of tomorrow be a vector of equality between men and women?” in collaboration with Option Leader
Lecture: “Gender, City and Digital” – “Female, male and neutral spaces ” in collaboration with AGarcia

Digital Education Cycle – Press & Medias

Period: December 2018 – January 2019
Summary: Numbers of authors highlight an institutional and journalistic crisis, in progress for several decades (Rousseau 1996, Bornstein 2011, Amiel 2017), defined by a loss of “confidence capital” (Lapoix, 2014), uncertainty towards traditional forms of authority (Watts & Rothschild, 2017) and a questioning of the social responsibility of the media (Tétu, 2008). Many causes can be put forward, such as ethical problems, a weak evolution of the press, a decline in the quality of content, and the emergence of new technologies and fake news. If the direct consequence would be a decline in readership and advertising revenues (Franklin, 2014), However, it is inevitable to notice the emergence of a multiplicity of new forms of journalism, seeking to counter this crisis and re-credibilise the media. During this cycle, we wanted to highlight this issue, its development since the creation of modern journalism, the different actors involved in this subject and good practices to keep in mind when certifying the veracity of information.
Bearers: TUBÀ
Partners: Tout va bien
Results:
– Conference “Le journalisme de solution”
– Workshop “Fake news”
– Exposition “Histoire des médias et du journalisme”
– Articles

Digital Education Cycle – Data and politics

Period: July 2017
Summary: “Man is a political animal”. if we take Aristotle’s words, man lives better in a “polis” (the Greek city). Man becomes man among the others, by living in a society ruled by laws and customs. The men that we are then have as our purpose and duty to use what we know and the tools that we have in order to optimise our citizen participation. With this antique aspiration, we wished to promote digital initiatives and tools enabling us to ensure our citizen participation.
Bearers: TUBÀ
Partners: #mavoix, urbee, Les bricodeurs, Iboycott
Results:
– Table ronde “Civic Tech vers une révolution démocratique ?”
– Animation d’un atelier autour des nouvelles formes de participation citoyenne
