How should citizens and communities interact with and in their city? Leveraging urban technology for civic purposes, such as citizen participation and community engagement, has been steadily gaining interest in HCI. Essentially, citizens can be empowered to be heard and engage the city better through the use of modern technology. Examples of these technologies are mobile phones, public displays, sensor networks, art installations, or any other type of urban technology. HiCUE '13 seeks to investigate the progress in creating public human interfaces for interactive urban engagement. Our workshop discusses issues such as citizen participation in public life and decision-making, informing citizens, and civic engagement in all its various forms.
