Abstract
This paper will explore the urban experience and design opportunities in the context of smart city. Shaping the ecological, balanced and sustainable way of urban lifestyle is becoming new challenge to designer in China. In related research, the development of smart cities and design urban experience will be explored from the integrated perspectives of theories and methodologies. We regard the city as the social network, living community and connected organism by the support of new information and communication technology. Research will focus on understanding the urban interaction pattern between citizen, media and city based on activity theory. The results of this research will help to transform the smart city design from technology driven to people driven; provide new models and case studies for developing the smart service system and shaping new urban experience in Beijing.
