Transitioning to resilience and sustainability in urban communities AbstractThe challenges of rapid urban growth and societal change will require mechanisms for efficient transitioning to an embedded resilience. This has become central to the exploration of methods for achieving truly sustainable urban growth. However, while transitioning and resilience are useful descriptors, they can be abstract or conflicting ideals and their meanings obscured by a lack of concrete examples, both being barriers to many planning objectives. In this paper, we hold a lens over key issues in transitioning to resilience in urban areas by outlining emerging challenges that may offer directions towards operationalising how cities might transition to a more resilient future, while ensuring that communities are at the center of the process.The emerging and challenging areas -geospatial ICT, green infrastructure planning, novel design using collaborative responses, climate planning, limiting urban sprawl and short-circuit economic approaches -are explored as viable facets for devising and sustaining urban transition strategies. We conclude with a discussion on the need for developing a synergistic approach in practice to facilitate transition.

Inter-organizational collaboration and information sharing have the potential of generating great benefits to government agencies and other social actors dealing with complex public problems. However, these initiatives have proved to be difficult to implement and important challenges have been identified in previous studies. Existing literature deals with challenges and enablers as important success factors for inter-organizational information sharing initiatives. Most of this research is based on cases and there are few quantitative empirical studies about this topic. Based on a national survey of government managers in two policy domains, this study starts filling this gap by systematically identifying some important determinants of the success of interorganizational information sharing initiatives through quantitative empirical analysis. Our analysis suggests four factors as the key determinants of inter-organizational information sharing success. We found that the following variables are statistically significant and clearly influence the success of inter-organizational information sharing initiatives: (1) availability of financial resources, (2) formally appointed project managers, (3) technical compatibility and (4) standards. As mentioned before, this is one of the first quantitative explorations and testing of success factors of inter-organizational information sharing in government settings and additional research is clearly needed.

Smart City is a fuzzy concept that has not been clearly defined either in theoretical studies or in empirical projects. Smart Cities are based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), people (with their knowledge, habits, experiences, culture and behaviour) remain at the heart of concerns. In this chapter we are interested in the centrality of citizens (i.e. in the heart of the city) and of ICT in their environment. This leads us to take into account the tacit knowledge brought by citizens and the knowledge that may be divulged through ICT. We then present the concept of the Information and Knowledge System (IKS), and then we explain how it differs from that of the Digital Information System (DIS). We also point to the role of ICT in the DIS, and to their impact on improving the smartness of cities.
