Riassunto

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges modern cities face in the context of climate change and urban development. By integrating varied viewpoints, it delves into the concept of sustainable and smart cities and sheds light on the opportunities for innovative and effective solutions, underscoring the interconnected nature of urban challenges and the necessity of a holistic approach.

Contributors present diverse perspectives and methodologies, including empirical studies, modelling, simulation, policy analysis, and case studies, to offer insights into innovative and effective solutions for urban sustainability challenges. Chapters are grouped according to themes of governance and management, economy, society, and technology. Topics covered include smart city governance models, the enabling role of managers in sustainability efforts, resilient infrastructure, homelessness, and smart technology implementations. The book also identifies research gaps and areas of uncertainty, which may guide future research.
