In the era of the 4.0 industry, mobility society, information, and communication technology are continuously evolving. It’s a time to reflect on the changes in modern society and the corresponding shifts in social and political dynamics. Democracy, facing criticism for issues such as representation and accountability, has now reached a crisis, calling for urgent solutions. This lecture proposes potential solutions to democracy based on experiments to address challenges. As a starting point for achieving a better democracy, the lecture introduces and analyses the outcomes and success factors of recent projects in France, Spain, Brazil, and Taiwan that utilise mobility technology. These projects show how the emergence of future citizens utilising mobility technology influences the transformation of political processes while also addressing the direction for the future.
