Smart City: The Citizen Protagonist
Architecture applied to buildings and, therefore, to the physical components of the city, has always used the technique to improve “the product” and offer innovation. The evolution and refinement of the technique of the last decades has more easily declined in technology. So today the expression of technological innovation applied to everything new and in particular to the smart city is used.
The smart city is generally defined as “a set of innovative architectural and urban planning strategies aimed at optimizing and innovating public services” to be related to the material infrastructures of cities, with human and intellectual capital and social of those who live there. All this must take place through “the use and application of new communication, mobility, environmental and energy efficiency technologies”.
On the one hand, therefore, the sphere of services related to mobility or efficient logistics is an absolutely positive and desirable fact for the citizen. On the other hand, however, the price to be paid is both material control (through the tracing and monitoring of all the actions and interactions we carry out) and psycho-social, being continuously pushed by the mechanism of “you might like it”…
This process is facilitated by mobile applications which in the smart city are the answer to a question of relevance that is placed in a context that becomes increasingly fluid. Urban apps allow people to make optimal choices in specific situations. But it is evident that recommendations favor the decay of autonomous choices and bring about mental flattening.
This is one of the cruxes of the issue that decision makers will have to deal with. Return citizens’ autonomy of thought !!!
