PERMANENTLY SHIFTING HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDE
In this session, you will learn 8 transforming tools that you will be able to apply immediately to any of your challenges related to human behavior and attitude.
Have you ever tried to change something in yourself or others? How many times you have had a New Year’s resolution that succeeds? Most of us strive for better lives and try our best to achieve changes. However, we rarely get to celebrate victories in really transforming our habits, behaviors, and thoughts, thus changing our lives and businesses for good.

Abstract. Can you imagine a city that feels, understands, and cares about your
wellbeing? Future cities will reshape human behavior in countless ways. New
strategies and models are required for future urban spaces to properly respond to
human activity, environmental conditions, and market dynamics. Persuasive
urban systems will play an important role in making cities more livable and
resource-efficient by addressing current environmental challenges and enabling
healthier routines. Persuasive cities research aims at improving wellbeing across
societies through applications of socio-psychological theories and their inte-
gration with conceptually new urban designs. This research presents an
ecosystem of future cities, describes three generic groups of people depending
on their susceptibility to persuasive technology, explains the process of defining
behavior change, and provides tools for social engineering of persuasive cities.
Advancing this research is important as it scaffolds scientific knowledge on how
to design persuasive cities and refines guidelines for practical applications in
achieving their emergence.
