“…These provide access to worldwide knowledge and information (re)sources, and a broad range of tools and applications that allow the establishment of networks and synergies among them (locally and globally), removing space and time barriers. Based on these new network opportunities that allow competitiveness gains and community development efforts (Stratigea, 2012), the concept of smart city emerges as a new paradigm for sustainable urban development that supports competitiveness, local prosperity, and social inclusion in the urban context. The widespread use of this concept is associated with the pivotal role it can play in coping with challenges emerging from the global pattern of urbanization (Walters, 2011).…”

Journal of Urban TechnologyPublication details, including instructions for authors and subscription information:ABSTRACT At present, sustainable urban development constitutes a major planning goal for many urban environments coping with contemporary challenges and problems confronted by world cities. Towards this end, the concept of smart cities emerges as a promising policy option for effectively dealing with sustainability objectives. In this respect, the focus of the present paper is on the development of an ICT-enabled participatory planning framework for guiding policy-making towards the planning of smart cities. This framework is in alignment with the argument that smart-city solutions must start with the "city" not with the "smart," shifting from a technology-pushed to an application-pulled smart-city planning approach, matching different types of "smartness" (technologies, tools, and applications) with different types of urban functions and contexts. It is also built upon a digital platform, integrating tools and technologies for data management and e-participatory planning that can support city-and citizen-specific decision making, capable of dealing with objectives for urban sustainability.

“…In fact, contemporary cities are confronted with considerable challenges, threatening sustainability targets towards their future development. Thus, sustainable urban development is currently considered as a key planning goal and has received much attention by policy makers and urban planners (Stratigea, 2012;Tao, 2013) because of:…”

“…While the information exchange process may entail increasing the connection between individuals, the concept is also applied in explaining the exchange of information between intelligent interceptive points. According to Stratigea [34], this refers to the fact that the smart city is an integration of different technological and project development aspects that are important in achieving a modernized urban system. From these two interpretations of the community concerning the smart city, the concept should emphasize the value of social inclusion and involvement of the community.…”

Reconsidering the Geddesian Concepts of Community and Space through the Paradigm of Smart Cities

Abstract:The 100th anniversary of Geddes' book "Cities in Evolution" has just passed, and the authors of this paper present a contribution towards understanding "how" Geddes might address the paradigm of the "smart city". Geddesian concepts have greatly revolutionized the design and building of modern cities around the world. As a botanist and a scientist, Geddes incorporated the concept of the appearance of gardens when designing towns. His success in pioneering the planning of his city of residence in Scotland inspired further involvement in designing towns and the renovation of old structures and buildings. His concepts regarding the planning and development of towns and cities have created a foundation of interest in research, professionalism, and educational development. This study analyses the concepts of space, communities, and smart cities, and repositions Geddesian ideas in contemporary learning strategies in relation to the wider political spectrum associated with the paradigm of smart cities. The authors explore the relevance of his thoughts and perspectives in the current design environment geared towards the creation of smart cities. The study also evaluates the challenges of developing smart cities in relation to Patrick Geddes's ideas.

“…Likewise, these surveillance data aid to predict future events to be prepared in advance by taking an efficient measurement to prevent losing convenience, security, comfort and high standard of living. Moreover, smart houses in a neighborhood can be connected together through Neighbor Area Network (NAN) to form a smart community [21]. In this case, houses are able to share some surveillance data like outside camera to find an accident or report events to a police station.…”

Abstract:With the expansion of smart meters, like the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), and the Internet of Things (IoT), each smart city is equipped with various kinds of electronic devices. Therefore, equipment and technologies enable us to be smarter and make various aspects of smart cities more accessible and applicable. The goal of the current paper is to provide an inclusive review on the concept of the smart city besides their different applications, benefits, and advantages. In addition, most of the possible IoT technologies are introduced, and their capabilities to merge into and apply to the different parts of smart cities are discussed. The potential application of smart cities with respect to technology development in the future provides another valuable discussion in this paper. Meanwhile, some practical experiences all across the world and the key barriers to its implementation are thoroughly expressed.
