Future urban scenarios will be characterized by the close integration of 'CT devices and humans. Citizens using their own capabilities integrated with 'CT technologies could collaboratively constitute a large-scale socio-technical superorganism to support collective urban awareness and activities. This position paper, with the help of a representative case study in the area of intelligent transportation systems, identifies the key challenges for future urban superorganisms and proposes a two-tier architecture to support their development.
