This book analyzes the ongoing transformation in the "smart city"
paradigm and explores the possibilities that technological
innovations offer for the effective involvement of ordinary
citizens in collective knowledge production and decision-making
processes within the context of urban planning and management. To
so, it pursues an interdisciplinary approach, with contributions
from a range of experts including city managers, public policy
makers, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) specialists,
and researchers. The first two parts of the book focus on the
generation and use of data by citizens, with or without
institutional support, and the professional management of data in
city governance, highlighting the social connectivity and
livability aspects essential to vibrant and healthy urban
environments. In turn, the third part presents inspiring case
studies that illustrate how data-driven solutions can empower
people and improve urban environments, including enhanced
sustainability. The book will appeal to all those who are
interested in the required transformation in the planning,
management, and operations of data-rich cities and the ways in
which such cities can employ the latest technologies to use data
efficiently, promoting data access, data sharing, and
interoperability.
