Internet and World Wide Web platforms, big data analytics,
software, social media and civic technologies allow for the
creation of smart ecosystems in which connected intelligence
emerges and disruptive social and eco-innovation flourishes. This
book focuses on three grand challenges that matter for any
territory, no matter where it is located: (i) smart growth, a path
that more and more cities, regions and countries are adopting
having realised the unlimited potential of growth that is based on
knowledge, innovation and digital technologies; (ii) safety and
security, which is a pre-requisite for quality of life in a world
of intense social, natural and technological threats; and (iii)
sustainability, use of renewable energy, protection of living
ecosystems, addressing climate change and global warming in a
period of rapid urbanisation that makes established sustainability
models and planning patterns quickly obsolete. The core argument of
the book is that problem-solving and novel solutions to these grand
challenges emerge in smart ecosystems through connected
intelligence. It is the broadest form of intelligence that combines
capabilities from heterogeneous actors (humans, organisations,
machines) and propel problem-solving through externalities and
resource agglomeration, user engagement and collaboration,
awareness and behaviour change. This book will be of interest to
students and researchers of urban and regional studies, innovation
studies, economic geography and urban planning, as well as urban
policy makers.
