This book comprises a selection of the top contributions presented
at the second international conference "Smart and Sustainable
Planning for Cities and Regions 2017", held in March 2017 in
Bolzano, Italy. Featuring forty-six papers by policy-makers,
academics and consultants, it discusses current groundbreaking
research in smart and sustainable planning, including the progress
made in overcoming cities' challenges towards improving the quality
of life. Climate change adaptation and mitigation of global
warming, generally identified as drivers of global policies, are
just the "tip of the iceberg" when it comes to smart energy
transition. Indeed, equally relevant towards this current
transformation - and key topics in this volume - are ICTs, public
spaces and society; next economy for the city; strategies and
actions for good governance; urban-rural innovation; rethinking
mobility. The book's depth in understanding and insightfulness in
re-thinking demonstrate the breaking of new ground in smart and
sustainable planning. A new ground that policy-makers, academics
and consultants may build upon as a bedrock for smart and
sustainable planning.
This book offers a selection of research papers and case studies
presented at the 3rd international conference "Smart and
Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions", held in December 2019
in Bolzano, Italy, and explores the concept of smart and
sustainable planning, including top contributions from academics,
policy makers, consultants and other professionals. Innovation
processes such as co-design and co-creation help establish
collaborations that engage with stakeholders in a trustworthy and
transparent environment while answering the need for new value
propositions. The importance of an integrated, holistic approach is
widely recognized to break down silos in local government, in
particular, when aimed at achieving a better integration of
climate-energy planning. Despite the ongoing urbanization and
polarization processes, new synergies between urban and rural areas
emerge, linking development opportunities to intrinsic cultural,
natural and man-made landscape values. The increasing availability
of big, real-time urban data and advanced ICT facilitates frequent
assessment and continuous monitoring of performances, while
allowing fine-tuning as needed. This is valid not only for
individual projects but also on a wider scale. In addition, and
circling back to the first point, (big) urban data and ICT can be
of enormous help in facilitating engagement and co-creation by
raising awareness and by providing insight into the local
consequences of specific plans. However, this potential is not yet
fully exploited in standard processes and procedures, which can
therefore lack the agility and flexibility to keep up with the
pulse of the city and dynamics of society. The book provides a
multi-disciplinary outlook based on experience to orient the reader
in the giant galaxy of smart and sustainable planning, support the
transposition of research into practice, scale up visionary
approaches and design groundbreaking planning policies and tools.

This open access book includes a selection of innovative
contributions presented at the 4th international conference
“Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions 2022”,
held in Bolzano, Italy in July 2022. Featuring 10 papers by
academics and consultants, strongly rooted in practical experiences
and international projects, it discusses current ground-breaking
research in innovative and sustainable planning for cities, with a
focus on the environmental, economic, and social challenges
associated with the global sustainability transition and energy
systems integration. The contributions are illustrative of the
richness of the issues discussed and the breadth of the emerging
themes, including innovative business models for building and
infrastructure at district level, integrated sustainability
assessment schemes for Positive Energy Districts, a material flow
accounting model for regional metabolism, energy communities
as a lever to promote historical and landscape values, optimized
and electrified last-mile logistics, multi-criteria decision
analysis tools to redefine center/periphery relationships, a
framework for socio-spatial analysis related to social practices,
design principles and communication technologies improving both
indoor and outdoor public spaces, augmented nature-based
solution coupling the green elements with the latest technologies
to deliver healthier and more appealing cities.
