A novel model for data-driven smart sustainable cities of the future: the institutional transformations required for balancing and advancing the three goals of sustainability

摘要: In recent years, it has become increasingly feasible to achieve important improvements of sustainability by integrating sustainable urbanism with smart thanks the proven role and synergic potential data-driven technologies. Indeed, processes practices both these approaches urban planning development are becoming highly responsive a form urbanism, giving rise new phenomenon known as “data-driven urbanism.” Underlying this emerging approach is idea combining strengths cities harnessing synergies their strategies solutions in ways that enable optimize, enhance, maintain performance on basis innovative technologies offered cities. These can be clearly demonstrated advantages urbanism. To such combination, major institutional transformations required terms enhanced competences. Based case study research, paper identifies, distills, enumerates key benefits, potentials, opportunities respect three dimensions sustainability, well needed support balancing introduction technology adoption applied city operational management planning. This an integral part futures aims analyze, investigate, develop novel model for future.
