Information Technology Macro Trends Impacts on Cities: Guidelines for Urban Planners
Fast advances on information and communication technologies (ICT) have been driving global changes and impacting urban development. ICT applications (e.g., car sharing) can impact urban mobility, land use zoning, public space use, driving behavior, and noise patterns. They can also trigger societal and economic changes (e.g., privacy awareness of personal data monetization) requiring new approaches and policies about data governance or city assets (e.g., citizen’s data). Therefore, urban planners/managers must stay aware of ICT trends and take them into account while designing long-/middle-term master plans or setting regulations. ICT performance is tied to their supporting infrastructures, which can be affected by city regulations (e.g., data handling). Driving sustainable development using scientific evidences requires the understanding of city regulation impacts on ICT deployments. This chapter addresses basic concepts of ICT (such as Data, Information, and Knowledge and Information Systems) and maturity levels of technologies, and discusses some guidelines for urban planners, along with opportunities, recommendations, and challenges. Finally, the chapter addresses how these trends impact dealing with a crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
