Data-driven Urban Systems for Sustainable Smart City Development
Spatial development plans that include the civic engagement both in the decision-making and execution processes have started to be used by a growing number of local governments around the Europe. Despite their mostly integrated nature (meaning integrating diverse urban matters at once) and openness of open dialog with city stakeholders, many of them is not even partially executed due to their rather abstract and general character. On the contrary, the strategies and plans concentrated on specific execution measures often lack the integrated context and the development direction that was crystalized in the before mentioned, less concrete form, being therefore much less oriented on sustainable, resilient developmental solutions. This is even more visible in urban development undertakings related to pursuing a smart city agenda, where the implementation efforts are mostly concentrated on single measures. This discussion paper introduces a new way of approaching the spatial development plans both from planning and execution perspective, using dynamic evaluation tools that not only monitor and measure the performance of undertaken goal-fulfilling processes/projects but also assess their sustainability quality. The key message behind the research is: smart city in not a new form of a future polis – it is a set of measures that helps to overcome the past, present and future problems in a more integrated, evidence-based way.
