This paper presents the methodology and outcomes of the Collective City Memory of Oulu study that we conducted in order to research whether it is feasible to embed community shared memories in the physical landscape of a city exploiting deployed public computing infrastructure. Personal memories that contribute to the collective memory in time are altered or lost with their carries and along with them a part of the culture of a city is lost; ubiquitous computing technologies today could allow us to capture and preserve collective memory, as well as to blend it into the urban landscape. CLIO is an urban computing system that allows people to form and interact with the collective memory; we deployed it at Oulu exploiting the city's infrastructure and we monitored how people interact with it and conducted a number of user trials. Findings support our statements that the collective memory of a city can be blended into the urban landscape and that people perceive it as a way of preserving aspects of the city culture.
