Miasta przyszłości: między oczekiwaniami a rzeczywistością
2017
Koncepcja nowoczesnego i zrównoważonego rozwoju miast – smart city, oferując rozwiązania z wykorzystaniem najnowocześniejszych technik ICT, pozwala kreować niemal utopijne w swych założeniach miasta. W praktyce jednak, choć zaawansowane technologicznie, zdają się mijać z oczekiwaniami najważniejszych aktorów miast – ich mieszkańcami, a w skrajnych przypadkach nawet ich brakiem. Niniejszy artykuł ma być próbą wskazania aspektów, w których teoria budowy nowoczesnych miast w zderzeniu z praktyką zawodzi.
5G IoT System for Real-Time Psycho-Acoustic Soundscape Monitoring in Smart Cities With Dynamic Computational Offloading to the Edge
2021
Environmental noise monitoring for smart cities need to be as much efficient as possible in order to mitigate its significant impact in the health of their inhabitants. 5G Internet of Things (IoT) systems offer a big opportunity to offload the computation from the sensor nodes, since it provides a series of new concepts for dynamic computing that the previous technologies did not offer. In this article, a complete 5G IoT system for psycho-acoustic monitoring has been designed and implemented using different options for offloading computation to different parts of the system. This offloading has been done by developing different functional splittings of the psycho-acoustic metrics algorithms…
Palermo: Living Labs for Urban Regeneration
2016
The case of Palermo is described in this chapter as an example of Human Smart City (HSC) approach transferred to an extremely weak urban context in Southern Italy. The case focuses on the processes boosted through the Territorial Living Lab established in the city to tackle the topic of citizen participation in the solution of the main city challenges. It was based on a model of incremental and adaptive process of interaction, within a co-creative ecosystem, with the aim of improving housing quality. The model was shared by the players involved in the social innovation process. It would not have been possible without the Living Lab approach and the innovative momentum of design thinking tra…
Integrating Experiences: Palermo Mediterranean Gateway City. Identity and Innovation
2019
Metropolitan transformations of the Palermo as a Mediterranean city, guided by envisioning it as a ‘fluid’ gateway city, have been seen as an example for the planning of other such cities in Italy and Europe. The 2025 strategic vision for Palermo was inspired by three key components: (i) the relevance of Palermo as ‘hub territory’ in European level concerns in territorial and infrastructure development policies; (ii) the urban and regional experience with the concept ‘fluid city’ (envisioning the city as a portal and place of interaction and exchanges, not just in terms of goods and people); and (iii) new metropolitan vision produced by new regional and national legislation on metropolitan …
The cities of future – between expectations and the reality

Identification and prioritization of stakeholders in the planning process of sustainable development of the smart city
2015
The article analyzes stakeholders in the city, conducted in order to identify organisations of particular value to the creation and delivery of the sustainable energy policy for smart cities i.e. enhanced Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP). Using the information gathered in the stakeholder analysis, Riga, the capital of Republic of Latvia, has created a stakeholder engagement plan to gather and coordinate the key stakeholders' resources and knowledge for the benefit of the city, and for the development, implementation, monitoring and ongoing revision of the energy policy for the smart city i.e. SEAP. Different approaches to stakeholder communication and engagement planning have been used…
How to bring urban and global climate studies together with urban planning and architecture?
2020
Abstract Climate friendly urban planning plays a key role in climate change mitigation and adaptation and allows for sustainable development of living conditions for future generations. It has been long understood that measures such as urban greening, planted facades and roofs or highly reflecting building materials are able to dampen excess heat and help reducing energetic costs. Transferring scientific and often theoretical knowledge into actual urban planning however necessarily involves an interdisciplinary dialogue. This paper intends to provide a review of existing literature from a meteorological perspective in order to answer the question how results from urban climate studies can b…
CITY OF THE FUTURE ON THE BACKGROUND OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Smart Cities—Imposed Requirement or Preferred Life-Style
2015
World is changing: the increasing population constantly impacts the natural and man-made environment; therefore, the next years are crucial for the deciding in which direction our planet will move forward. Today about ½ of the world’s population lives in cities sustaining the tendency of expanding urbanisation. Each city is different, determined by geographical location, history, and the people who live there and govern it. The best solution for one place may be not applicable for another. However, there is already enough experience of best practices accumulated to draw general conclusions and elaborate sustainable future development designs for cities. The paper summarises: different Smart…
