Public management of smart cities: European experience by S. A. Zakharova

“…The third group of publications deals with critical aspects of the development of smart governance in practice and the resulting consequences, in particular, the reassessment of the ability of the private sector to develop and implement intelligent technologies, the predominance of a technocratic approach to decision-making, the inability to ensure impartiality and objectivity, the lack of the ability to analyse urban data, cloud computing on digital platforms to stimulate production in a collaborative environment. Their conclusion about the need for “smart management” to pay attention to the processes of socio-spatial development is quite correlated with the conclusions of Russian scientists.…”

Condomini di montagna. Una riflessione sugli insediamenti e sull’abitare nei contesti periurbani di una città alpina by Cristina Mattiucci

“…Starting from the model of housing that the town has been generating, we ask whether these processes manifest the features of a monofunctional residential transformation and examine the effects it may have on the transformation of the inhabited mountain and the genesis of spatial homogeneity and possible spatial inequalities.This reflection is based on a critical reading of field work carried out during an urban planning experience, and the case study is presented with the phenomenal and empirical data collected during a study about landscape perception, conceived as a structural survey to propose socially shared planning processes and territorial transformations.One of the main issues that this article tackles is the possible correlation between the shape of the newer buildings that have been erected in some areas of town and the transformation of a peri-urban mountain reality that tends to gradually take on the features of a dormitory town. …”
