Open Smart Cities Guide V.1.0

Abstract

Open Smart Cities in Canada is a collaborative project. We would like to thank smart city representatives from the cities of Edmonton, Guelph, Montréal, and Ottawa and officials from the provinces of British Columbia and Ontario for sharing their time, expertise and experiences with us. Furthermore, this project benefits from contributions made by the project’s core team of experts and researchers. We are grateful to Professor Tracey P. Lauriault (Carleton University), David Fewer, LL.M., (Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic {CIPPIC}), and Professor Mark Fox (University of Toronto) for providing their expert advice on the design of research and its outputs. Finally, we thank graduate students Stephen Letts and Carly Livingstone (Carleton University) for research assistance and editing over the course of the project.Authors: Tracey P. Lauriault (Carleton University), Rachel Bloom (OpenNorth) and Jean-Noé Landry (OpenNorth).Funded by Natural Resources Canada’s GeoConnections program in 2018.

BIG barrio

“…In the development of this research project, called BIG barrio, a y gestión de operaciones, mejorar y renovar sus procesos de toma de decisión, de frente a los requerimientos éticos, desafíos de sustentabilidad ambiental de su capital territorial y sostenibilidad económica en las gobernanzas locales. En el desarrollo de esta investigación-proyectual, denominada BIG barrio, se ha estructurado una ruta para lograr establecer un modelo replicable, que permita integrar la complejidad y diversidad de conocimientos incumbentes necesarios para la creación de valor urbano-socio-tecnológico, que haga factible su escalabilidad territorial, en búsqueda de construir el perfil de una ciudad abierta, inteligente y sostenible; "una ciudad donde los residentes, la sociedad civil, la academia y el sector privado colaboran con los oficiales públicos para movilizar tecnología y datos, de una forma ética, responsable y transparente, para dirigir el gobierno del territorio de forma justa, buscando el bien común, mediante desarrollo económico balanceado, progreso social y responsabilidad ambiental" (Lauriault et al, 2018, citado por Corfo 2020. En este escenario emergente que relaciona de un nuevo modo a personas, tecnología y territorio, es fundamental el uso de tecnologías inteligentes para el desarrollo de sistemas socio-digitales (Bratton, 2016).…”

“…route was structured to establish a replicable model that integrates the complexity and diversity of knowledge necessary for creating urban-socio-technological value, making its territorial scalability feasible. This is to build the profile of an open, smart and sustainable city; "a city where residents, civil society, academia and the private sector collaborate with public officials to mobilise technology and data, in an ethical, accountable and transparent manner, to govern the territory fairly, seeking the common good, through balanced economic development, social progress and environmental responsibility" (Lauriault et al, 2018). In this emerging scenario that relates people, technology and territory in a new way, using smart technologies to develop socio-digital systems is fundamental (Bratton, 2016).…”
