4.9/5 (23556 ratings)

Description:In recent years, smartness has risen as a buzzword to characterise urban policy that goes beyond a one-dimensional 'growth agenda' by addressing the multifaceted quest for sustainability, itself a much used term. Hence, it is contended that there is a new emphasis on qualitative and responsible growth. Central to this shift has been the concept of transition - providing the broader context and points of reference for adopting smartness in reconciling competing interests and agendas in city-regional governance.Hence, recent discourses of 'smartness' and 'smart cities' now typically incorporate wider political and policy concerns with economic competitiveness, ecological sustainability, energy budgets, improved administrative efficacy, data integration and coordination, technology, citizen empowerment leading to, it is hoped, ultimately more agile, intelligent and efficient cultures of territorial (e)governance.In this book, the authors scrutinise these ambitions and claims and how these smart cities and city regions interact with conventional state structures and territorialities.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
