“…Cugurullo, F. [61] showed a realistic perspective among the experimental models of improved urban spaces by investigating the extent to which the Smart Cities are developed in a controlled and systematic manner as their developers claim. Through the two most diffused typologies of experimental urban projects, "smart" and "eco-city", he compared the performance of existing cities by introducing the individual component of a smart city and divided the smart city into smart and city parts [62]. The smart part is built of structure, function, focus, and semiotics, whereas the city is represented by the stakeholders and the outcomes.…”

A Smart City is a solution to the problems caused by increasing urbanization. Australia has demonstrated a strong determination for the development of Smart Cities. However, the country has experienced uneven growth in its urban development. The purpose of this study is to compare and identify the smartness of major Australian cities to the level of development in multi-dimensions. Eventually, the research introduces the openings to make cities smarter by identifying the focused priority areas. To ensure comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the smart city’s performance, 90 indicators were selected to represent 26 factors and six components. The results of the assessment endorse the impacts of recent government actions taken in different urban areas towards building smarter cities. The research has pointed out the areas of deficiencies for underperforming major cities in Australia. Following the results, appropriate recommendations for Australian cities are provided to improve the city’s smartness.

Celem niniejszego artykułu było rozpoznanie nowych możliwości i obszarów rynku dla przedsiębiorczości wykorzystującej współczesne technologie komunikacyjne oraz rozwiązania organizacyjne mieszczące się w ramach pojęcia ekonomii współpracy. Celem stało się również skonfrontowanie tych obszarów z modelem miasta inteligentnego (Smart City). W związku z deskryptywnym charakterem artykułu zaprezentowano w nim przykłady obszarów działalności podmiotów gospodarczych ekonomii współpracy. Naszkicowano rolę tego typu ekonomii w rozwoju miast, a także jej znaczenie we wdrażaniu koncepcji miasta inteligentnego. Zarysowany został także stojący przed włodarzami miast oraz regulatorami problem dynamicznego rozwoju ekonomii współpracy (sharing economy – inne tłumaczenie na język polski to ekonomia współdzielenia). Stanowi on problem, gdyż ze względu na swój charakter i wykorzystywane kanały komunikacji w wymianie rynkowej (aplikacje, serwisy społecznościowe, smartfony) pozostaje poza pełną kontrolą. Podmioty działające według zasad ekonomii współpracy stanowią rosnącą konkurencją dla przedsiębiorców działających w tradycyjnych strukturach organizacyjnych i podlegających regulacjom prawnym oraz fiskalnym. Początkowo niedostrzegany alternatywny rynek usług opartych na komunikacji internetowej w wielu przypadkach rozrósł się i zdominował tradycyjne usługi, np. w centrach miast. Cele artykułu realizowane są przez przegląd literatury i doniesień internetowych – ze względu na specyfikę tematu najbardziej aktualnych źródeł informacji. W artykule treść uzupełniana jest własnymi obserwacjami autora.

“…After a starting phase in which the word smartness was used as a synonym for technologies, the multiple definitions of smart city found in literature [2][3][4][5][6][7] agree with the acknowledgement that the social component plays a strategic role in the achievement of "urban smartness," meant as the will to pursue collective interests instead of individual objectives. This vision points out the active role that residents and city users, such as commuters, tourists, stakeholders, and other categories, must play in order to contribute to the process of evolution of the city itself [8,9].…”

Sustainability of Urban Functions: Dealing with Tourism Activity

et al. 2019

This study aims to contribute to theoretical debate concerning urban planning, highlighting the need for a renewal of approaches and tools that could allow for the achievement of urban smartness. The concept of urban sustainability is evolving, also in relation to the incoming world of “smart cities,” and it should be related to a systemic vision of the city. Referring to a systemic approach for the study of urban phenomena, sustainability can be considered as a target condition that cities have to achieve in order to contrast “urban entropy” and behave as smart cities. In this regard, our study starts from the premise that entropy is a negative state, which can affect the urban system in all its components. Among these components, the social subsystem can play a strategic role and some urban functions (such as the components of the functional subsystem) can be designated as “driving functions” that are able to lead the urban system towards a sustainable and smarter state of equilibrium. This equilibrium, though not static, can provide the efficiency of the system. Since tourism interests several aspects and sectors, it can be considered as one of the forces that, if properly controlled (i.e., by integrating it into the process of evolution of the system), would positively influence the evolution of the urban system. The application of the theoretical framework refers to the social (active) component of tourism, represented by the tourist flows that move inside the physical subsystem and can be traced through the data they disseminate by the use of their personal devices, with the aim of individuating the urban zones where the load of tourism concentrates. These areas can be marked as the ones urban planners and decision-makers have to first monitor in order to control the general state of the urban system equilibrium.
