Rotterdam uses the Reyeroord neighbourhood as a public-space sensor testbed developed with residents, companies and research partners. Current trials cover fill-level sensors in waste containers, groundwater monitoring, smart lighting, air-quality measurement and the modular Cent-R smart pole; earlier park sensors counted visitors rather than identifying them.

🎓 Lesson

The project treats public acceptance as infrastructure: Rotterdam tests sensors in one neighbourhood, explains what each device does and involves residents before considering wider reuse.
