Experiencing the Smart City Concept: The Challenge of Intelligent Districts

subject

description

Future cities will become a complex system of variable geometry, where ICT is the main driver of all connections, an intelligent tool that enables the dialogue between different systems, the bonding agent of the smart city. The man still remains the main actor, because he redesigns his habits, corrects his behaviors, shares ideas and solutions based on continuous feedback from the environment. The areas where there are large urban innovations are the field of mobility and energy and ICT of course. Approaches to intelligent cities implementations change, because they are powered by the aspects related to communication. The dimension of the smart districts appears to be the only convincing module, able to test systems, technologies and processes. The most interesting interface to investigate is the relationship between the new city module—infact the smart district—and the citizen, city-user and actor of all urban transformations/changes; the smart city becomes progressively more closer to people, more human.
