This book addresses the issue of smart and sustainable development
in the Mediterranean (MED) region, a distinct part of the world,
full of challenges and risks but also opportunities. Above all, the
book focuses on smartening up small and medium-sized cities and
insular communities, taking into account their geographical
peculiarities, the pattern of MED urban settlements and the
abundance of island complexes in the MED Basin. Taking for granted
that sustainability in the MED is the overarching policy goal that
needs to be served, the book explores different aspects of
smartness in support of this goal's achievement. In this respect,
evidence from concrete smart developments adopted by forerunners in
the MED region is collected and analyzed; coupled with experiences
gathered from successful, non-MED, examples of smart efforts in
European countries. More specifically, current research and
empirical results from MED urban environments are discussed, as
well as findings from or concerning other parts of the world, which
are of relevance to the MED region. The book's primary goal is to
enable policymakers, planners and decision-making bodies to
recognize the challenges and options available; and make to more
informed policy decisions towards smart, sustainable, inclusive and
resilient urban and regional futures in the MED.
