PLAN IT SMART CLEVER SOLUTION FOR SMART CITIES “Smart Cities” has become a widely used term for the implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) into the processes of cities and the built environment, aiming to improve the integration of the physical assets as well as social and environmental capital. Fired by several rankings there seems to be a competition for the title of the “Smartest City”. This kind of hype raises a lot of questions that REAL CORP 2014 will deal with. What does “Smart City” mean in terms of quality of life? How does it influence the economic perspectives? Are the concepts of sustainability and resilience part of “Smart Cities”? What about politics and administration, policies and governance? How do “Smart Solutions” influence the “hardware” of a city, the urban fabric? Last but not least: what is the role of urban/spatial planning in and for “Smart Cities”? Can we PLAN IT SMART and find CLEVER SOLUTIONS FOR SMART CITIES? In addition to the general topics mentioned before here are some more potential topics: Smart Cities/Smart Citizens – Who Needs What? Does “Smart” mean High-Tech? Existing/Evolving/Foreseen Technologies Business Models for Smart Solutions Long-Term Strategies and Plans vs. Short-Term (Re-)Actions and Tactics – the Role of Strategic and Spatial Planning for Smart Cities Density Matters – the Urban Fabric of „Smart Cities“ in the Light of Quality of Life, Sustainability and Resilience Smart Mobility – Smart Energy – Smart Environmental Technologies This Town ain’t Smart Enough for the Both of Us – Integration and Segregation in Smart Cities Data/Information/Knowledge Infrastructures – the Backbone of Smart Cities (Smart) City Rankings – why, how, by whom for whom, who cares? Why "Plan it Smart"?
