‘An excellent piece of work’ – Jonathan Leucci, Scottish European Green Energy Centre
‘I found the publication very useful and I am using the learning from the case studies
to inform the development of our Smart City Programme‘ – Lorraine Hudson, Bristol City Council
‘Practical and balanced’ – Haydee Sheombar, IBM
The publication Smart City dynamics brings together different views and lessons learnt from European cities, companies and universities. Experts explain what Smart City initiatives can bring us and how to address the main challenges in the transition to cleaner and more livable cities and regions. Although there are differing views as to what a Smart City really is, we are facing common challenges, such as setting priorities (road maps) and creating synergies between sectors. The chapters in the book are based on those main challenges.
Focus on energy and climate
The publication focuses on energy savings and climate change. This is where many of the gains directly affecting cities’ livability can be made. It also reflects the Smart Cities & Communities Initiative roll out by the European Commission.
This book gives a realistic insight into the complexity and diversity of Smart Cities. Smart City dynamics is a business gift with a message. A must read for anyone who has started out on the road to Smart Cities or is about to begin the journey.
