Almost a century since the idea of creating more humane - more
human-centric - cities was brought to the fore, how far has mankind
progressed towards creating a true 'city with a heart'? How far off
are we, and what can we do to close the gap?The first generation of
smart cities showed the limits of top-down planning, in which
cities contracted out design and implementation to IT providers. As
residents resented paying high taxes for 'smart' urban features
that they did not want or use, it became plain that smart cities
were not sustainable, and needed to be re-thought. 'Smart City 2.0'
starts the design process with understanding the needs of human
residents. Little has yet been written about smart cities' second
wind.This book offers leading-edge, international perspectives on
Smart City 2.0. It offers an overview of the sustainable smart city
concept, presents leading experts' latest thinking on strategies
for a new generation of smart cities, and showcases eight
implementation case studies from seven countries. All chapters are
contributed by prominent, leading thinkers and practitioners from a
dozen countries, representing both the developed and the developing
worlds.
