Abstract

Case studies are presented pointing out problems that probably slower the development of Ubicomp and Environmental Computing. A place-theoretical framework was developed in order to correlate both creativeness and technical routine for helping Computer Scientists, Mechatronic Engineers and Environmental Designers such Urban Designers and Architects to work together, overcoming their different languages of their fields. Future research is drawn aiming to improve the framework as to achieve more sustainable products and services concerning the urban scene.
