The document discusses smart city initiatives in China, Iskandar Malaysia, Japan, New York, and Tarragona Spain. It defines smart cities as using technology and data to empower citizens, engage communities, and enable social and economic development. The authors analyze each case study's governance models, finding differences in leadership structures and the role of governments, universities, firms, and citizens. Overall, the cases show multi-faceted approaches to smart cities locally and differences in how initiatives stress technology versus community engagement.
This work explores the applicability of the model developed by Chourabi et al. (2012) to the urban reality of Shanghai, China. The eight variables of the model: 1) governance and public urban planning 2) management and organization 3) technology 4) policy context 5) people and communities 6) economy 7) built in infrastructure, 8) and natural environment, are examined against the Shanghai case. The findings are that for Shanghai the smart city plan inherits a process of transformation in place from the beginning of 1990s in four areas of public policy: governance, technology, built in infrastructure and economy; The smart city plan develops specificities for management and organization and shows a built-in capacity to develop a favorable policy context with the central government more recently. We have found a limited scope for people and communities and the natural environment shaping changes so called smart. The framework applied contributes to extend the scope of comparative urban theory and analysis beyond the western world, in the East Asian context, allowing further comparison across cities. Final results might be used to complete new research programs, as we suggest.
This document summarizes a presentation on cities and local political leadership with a focus on innovation. It defines smart cities under three traditions: human capital, technology, and digital literacy. It discusses theoretical differences between these approaches and presents a hypothesis that factors advancing smart plans are key to differentiating models of urban governance. Case studies of different cities are analyzed, finding that governance is a key overarching variable and that small city size favors experiments. It concludes by discussing challenges around engaging citizens, evaluating policies, and conceptualizing what "smart" entails locally.

ABSTRACT
In order to study innovations of governance in cities and urban regions we have chosen
to do research on smart cities and policies in a comparative perspective. This research
is an exploratory comparative study of cities emphasizing different ways to address the
definition and implementation of the smart concept. We analyze and compare cases from China, Japan, Malaysia, Spain and United States to find out differences and
commonalities in smart city governance and public policies. Based on these cases, we
also draw tentative conclusions for governance and public urban planning in the areas
and management and organization, technology, policy context, people and communities,
economy, built in infrastructure and natural environment.

Open Data Innovation in Smart Cities: Challenges and TrendsEdward Curry
Open Data initiatives are increasingly considered as defining elements of emerging smart cities. However, few studies have attempted to provide a better understanding of the nature of this convergence and the impact on both domains. This talk examines the challenges and trends with open data initiatives using a socio-technical perspective of smart cities. The talk presents findings from a detailed study of 18 open data initiatives across five smart cities to identify emerging best practice. Three distinct waves of open data innovation for smart cities are discussed. The talk details the specific impacts of open data innovation on the different smart cities domains, governance of the cities, and the nature of datasets available in the open data ecosystem within smart cities.
This document summarizes and analyzes smart city initiatives in China, Iskandar (Malaysia), Japan, New York City, and Tarragona (Spain). It defines what makes a city "smart" and establishes a framework to analyze and compare different smart city projects based on factors like management, technology, governance, policy context, people/communities, economy, infrastructure, and environment. For each case study, it analyzes the approach taken in these areas and highlights some of the organizations, technologies, goals, and challenges involved in their smart city agendas.
The document discusses open cities and sustainability. It defines smart cities under three traditions: human capital, technology, and digital literacy. The document hypothesizes that factors to advance smart city plans are key to differentiating models of urban governance. It compares cases from different world institutional settings and concludes that governance could be a key overarching variable. The work is based on research conducted by Olga Gil, Carmen Navarro, and Julio Navío from 2013-2014 on smart cities, smart citizens, and ideas for the future.
Can science fictioning, co-creation, and other innovative, design-centered foresight techniques find fertile ground within the marble halls of government? Find out in this critical examination of strategies, methods and lessons from the project, Economic Futures for Ontario 2032 (EFO). Led by Strategic Innovation Lab (sLab) at OCAD University, in close collaboration with an interdisciplinary governmental working group, EFO explores challenging futures for Canada’s most populous and diverse province. The project attracted hundreds of participants from public and private sectors.
Balancing creativity and surprise with evidence and policy relevance, EFO is a demonstration initiative designed to boost organizational learning through scanning, scenarios, and strategic implications. The joint sLab/government team co-authored together, producing unexpected ideas and exceptional stakeholder ownership. As governments cope with shifting public sentiment, dwindling coffers, and rising complexity, need has never been greater for innovative anticipatory planning. In this session we’ll interrogate a path with real risks and rewards.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

People and communi8es
Experiments include residents as acDve parts (menDoning residents
especifically):
“Smart ci)es are not something that should be tackled by just governments and
corpora)ons and presented to residents. The general public must also be ac)vely
involved in sharing their own ideas and helping to formulate the ci)es by throwing
their own wisdom into the pot. “
4.5. Natural environment
• Natural environment as key driver. The origin of the smart city projects in
Japan is the aoermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11,
2011, and the subsequent nuclear power plant accident.
• Facing urbanizaDon is an enormous issue for Japan, with agricultural land
being converted into urbanized areas at the same pace as the rapid
growth of developing naDons.

the city set up a team of data scienDsts for special projects in the Mayor’s office. The city government has
commied to giving the N.Y.U. center access to all its public data.
• Digital strategy focused on access to technology, open government, engagement and industry in New York
City.
• Local government CIO Rachel Haot: “open government is important for the local government because if
the data and the internal structure and prioriDes aren’t completely open “we’re not going to be able to
enable increased [open] services, “we need to be constantly gathering feedback from the public,
informing and serving. And access is the founda8on because everyone needs access to these
technologies.” (Howard 2011).

24. 5. Analysis and Findings
People and Communi8es frameworks to develop smart ci8es and
policies involving ci8zens.
3. Prototype and test of the prototype. The living lab approach, tesDng it
with actual ciDzens and consumers in a real world environment allows
for more insights
– Gathering ciDzen feedback entails that ciDzens, using the prototype, provide feedback
about their experience using the service, and their feedback should be taken into
account for next iteraDons of the proposed soluDon. This feedback should then be used
to improve the service.
– repeat the last three steps in order to improve the proposed soluDon based on feedback
received from potenDal users- It allows for improvements based on actual usage by
ciDzens.
4. To drive the process, an innova8on team needs to be established.
Examples of similar frameworks: at the naDonal level, the government
innovaDon labs Nesta in the United Kingdom; At local level, urban living
labs such as Forum Virium in Helsinki.

27. Analysis and Findings
People and Communi8es frameworks to develop smart ci8es and
policies involving ci8zens.
These innovaDve frameworks (Nesta, Forumvirium…) are
insDtuDons that have ingrained the values of parDcipaDon. They share a
culture of :
- rapid prototyping
- and fail safe environments where the tesDng and prototyping of new
ideas is allowed: “in fact, it is failure during the early stages of
prototyping what allows for a beer outcome, in collaboraDon with
early adopters that provide useful and meaningful feedback” (2013).
These kind of teams are well prepared to be constantly looking for ciDzen
service delivery gaps and propose soluDons that are co-designed with
ciDzens through feedback in iteraDve processes.
Other factors for further research for people and communi8es include digital divides,
educaDon, parDcipaDon and partnership, informaDon and community
gatekeepers, communicaDon, quality of life and accessibility.

28. Analysis and Findings
Natural environment
• Concerns present in all the cases explored.
• Japan did set up the smart pilots in the aoermath of the
nuclear accidents.
• China faces severe environmental concerns. Malaysia is also
aware in Iskandar.
• New York has suffered severe impact of climate change in
november 2012.
• Tarragona is also concerned.
We find this field as one posing the biggest challenges at a
global level. Would local policies be enough to tackle this
challenge?
No homogeneous path towards a smart goal.
