Abstract

A “smart city” is generally meant as a technologically advanced cities, capable of joining “competitiveness” and “sustainability”, by integrating different dimensions of development (economic, mobility, environment, people, living and governance), becoming self-sufficient. A broad definition that suggested different and varied visions, from which are derived identification systems and different classifications of Smart cities.

The paper part from a reflection, already started by the time the authors, on the theme of “Smart City” as “Senseable city”, which means to focus the discussion no more on “how cities can be smarter”, but on “how intelligent technologies can lead us to rethink the patterns of urban development by making them fair and inclusive, as well as efficient and sustainable”. About, the paper tries to explore a new field of research related to the relationship between urban planning and smart city. The Smart city is certainly an opportunity to re-think the contemporary city in an innovative way, with systems of resource management in the city, aimed at improving the quality of life with respect to which the processing of integrated strategic planning is a key requirement for sustainable development of the city.

The reference is timely to the European initiative FP7-ENERGY-2012-SMARTCITIES which provides specific actions dedicated to urban planning as a basis for the construction of the Smart Cities. The initiative includes a long-term vision and refers to an urban planning in able to manage, direct and govern energy policies.
