Smart Cities and Eu growth strategy: a Comparison among European Cities
2015
The level of interest in smart cities has been growing during these last years. The academic literature (Holland, 2008; Caragliu et al., 2009, Nijkamp et al., 2011 and Lombardi et al., 2012) has identified a number of factors that characterise a city as smart, such as economic development, business-friendly, environmental sustainability, social innovation, information and knowledge process, and human and social capital. Thus, the smartness concept is strictly linked to urban efficiency in a multifaceted way as well as to citizens’ wellbeing through the use of appropriate technologies. Instead, from a “political perspective” smartness is mainly related to the ability of using ICT (Informatio…
On the use of composite indicators for mobile communications network management in smart sustainable cities
2020
Beyond 5G networks will be fundamental towards enabling sustainable mobile communication networks. One of the most challenging scenarios will be met in ultra-dense networks that are deployed in densely populated areas. In this particular case, mobile network operators should benefit from new assessment metrics and data science tools to ensure an effective management of their networks. In fact, incorporating architectures allowing a cognitive network management framework could simplify processes and enhance the network&rsquo
New forms of urban and social sustainability: ICTs in the design of smart cities
2014
A new design of the city, that one of the smart city, is evolving implying the frequent involvement of the technological and social field, in order to make urban spaces more sustainable. The development of new information and communication technologies (ICTs), follows the growth and evolution of the city through the monitoring of the multiplicity of sectors that build urban form: economy, education, policy, environment and society. The objective of the research is to identify urban practices that have led to better results in the fields of mobility, environment and social cooperation, highlighting the different methodologies of ICTs’ application.
Smart city: casi studio
2015
Il capitolo effettua un'ampia ricognizione delle smart city nel mondo, dagli esempi europei più noti alle smart city nelle città asiatiche. Da Masdar negli Emirati Arabi a Stoccolma, che in questi ultimi anni ha rigenerato con un'ottica smart interi quartieri (Hammarby Syostad e il Royal Seaport), cambiando complessivamente il volto della città. Il capitolo in questa terza edizione dedica un'attenzione speciale alle città asiatiche - la Cina ad esempio - che oggi si confrontano con profondi mutamenti socio-economici e imponenti e veloci fenomeni di urbanizzazione.
Palermo senziente. Città di persone e città di sensori
2021
Nel mondo contemporaneo, razionalità e percezione non nascono più nella mente e nei sensi umani. Un recente libro curato da Grazia Concilio e Francesca Rizzo mostra numerose sfaccettature di questa questione. Quando nel 2017 Maurizio Carta introduce il concetto di città senziente, rafforza significativamente le basi per integrare ragione e sentimento urbanistico, cioè per integrare la razionalità della conoscenza strutturata e finalizzata al processo di pianificazione con le percezioni derivanti dalla “pancia” della città. Il contributo propone una visione innovativa sulla dualità analitica e valutativa che si genera tra mondo reale e mondo digitale, tra gli abitanti-utenti delle città e gl…
Right to the Future
2017
During the last decade, the city of Palermo has been undergoing relevant transformations from various perspectives. This has been the consequences of a multitude of circumstances, European financial crisis, migrants/refugees crisis, a new administration of the city and an increased awareness and responsibility among the citizens. Various national and international recognitions (Italian Cultural Capital 2018, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, Manifesta 12, Youth Capital 2017) have confirmed that they are on the right path. This positive moment has been launched and, progressively, rid- den by many young professionals that decided to challenge the present situation by investing their…
An intangible smart city inside the tangible historical city: the smart heritage as regeneration of euromediterranean realities
2013
The Hybridization between the visible and virtual territory has become a commonplace for much of urban population. The city is mutating into an extended form in which the visible and virtual dimensions are blurred. In this sense, the city has a physical dimension that we appropriate differently and a semiotic dimension that allows us to communicate and establish social bonds. The abstract examines how European policies is facilitating the construction of smart cities which have a cultural heritage to be safeguarded.
Smart and valued? ICT urban (transport) solutions in the city official communication
2022
To optimize the everyday functioning of a city, urban authorities can implement smart city tools and solutions. Mobility is a typical field associated with the concept of a smart city. It is interesting to take a closer look at the solutions applied through the information accessible on the official websites, while exploring, at the same time, the possibilities offered by new research tools. The main objective of this work is to establish the significance of the information and communication technologies (ICT) in the process of creating smart mobility in a smart city, based on the texts posted on official websites. Using the natural language processing (NLP) methods and tools offered by the…

Ekonomia współdzielenia (Sharing Economy) jako narzędzie kreowania Smart City
2018
W artykule poruszane są kwestie ekonomii współdzielenia, która wpisuje się w trzecią generację smart city określaną jako sharing smart city. Współdzielenie odzwierciedla współtworzenie miasta przez jego mieszkańców i dlatego jest niekwestionowanym narzędziem kreowania miast inteligentnych. Sharing economy pozwala na rozbudowę potencjałów miasta inteligentnego, a głównym zadaniem włodarzy miast jest dążenie do zmiany zachowań komunikacyjnych. Celem opracowania jest wskazanie zależności między ekonomią współdzielenia a koncepcją smart city.
