This book offers an overview of sustainability and urban mobility
in the context of urban planning - topics that are of considerable
interest in the development of smart cities. Environmental
sustainability is universally recognized as a fundamental condition
for any urban policy or urban management activity, while mobility
is essential for the survival of complex urban systems. The new
opportunities offered by innovations in the mobility of people,
goods and information, as well as radically changing interactions
and activities are transforming cities. Including contributions by
urban planning scholars, the book provides an up-to-date picture of
the latest studies and innovative policies and practices in Italy,
of particular interest due to its spatial, functional and social
peculiarities. Sustainability and mobility must form the basis of
"smart planning" - a new dimension of urban planning linked to two
main innovations: procedural innovation in the management of
territorial transformations and the technological innovation of the
generation, processing and distribution of data (big data) for the
creation of new "digital environments" such as GIS, BIM, models of
augmented and mixed reality, useful for describing changes in human
settlement in real time.
This book examines the energy dimension of the smart city from the
perspective of urban planning, providing a complete overview that
ranges from theoretical aspects to practical considerations and
projects. In addition, it aims to illustrate how the concept of the
smart city can enhance understanding of the urban system and foster
new forms of management of the metropolis, including with respect
to energy supply and use. Specifically, the book explores the
different dimensions of the relationship between energy and the
city, discusses methodological issues with a special focus on
ontological approaches to sustainability, and describes practices,
tools, and good examples of energy-related urban planning. The
authors represent the main Italian research groups working in the
field, Italy being an excellent example of a country exposed to
energy problems due to, for example, vulnerability to climate
change and lack of primary energy resources. This book will be
valuable for students of urban planning, town planners, and
researchers interested in understanding the changing nature of the
city and the challenges posed by energy issues.
