This game design document was created by Charles Palmer, Jenica Jones, Cameron Spurlock and me as part of the LTMS 531: Designing Serious Games & Simulations course in the Learning Technologies Master of Science (LTMS) program at Harrisburg University (http://www.harrisburgu.edu/learningtechnologies). The course is in the Serious Games & Simulation concentration in the LTMS degree.
The students and the professors worked on the project together as a way to further explore and practice game design concepts introduced in class and through readings. The practice game design also supported the development of skills that students applied to their own game design projects.
We partnered with IBM to establish the game concept and communicated with IBM representatives throughout the semester to receive feedback and discuss game design strategies.
How Intelligent Communities Are Re-Inventing Urban and Rural PlanningAntonio Sánchez Zaplana
This document discusses how intelligent communities are reinventing urban and rural planning in response to disruptive technologies like broadband internet and ICT. It argues that planners must consider how these technologies are fundamentally changing how communities operate and the types of spaces needed. Broadband is reducing demand for office space as more people work remotely. ICT is also changing how people engage with their communities and use public spaces. Intelligent communities are planning proactively for these technological changes to create sustainable and prosperous futures.
Megaprojects are extremely large-scale investment projects that typically cost over $1 billion and take many years to develop. They involve multiple public and private stakeholders and impact millions of people. The Moon-shaped mega resort in Dubai is a proposed $5 billion project that aims to give visitors the experience of being on the lunar surface through its design. It will include private residences, amenities, and is expected to attract over 2.5 million annual visitors once completed. Developing large-scale tourist resorts requires participation from various stakeholders like developers, local governments, planning authorities and the community to ensure diverse needs are met.

Smart city governance in developing countries a systematic literature reviewAraz Taeihagh
Smart cities that make broad use of digital technologies have been touted as possible solutions for the population pressures faced by many cities in developing countries and may help meet the rising demand for services and infrastructure. Nevertheless, the high financial cost involved in infrastructure maintenance, the substantial size of the informal economies, and various governance challenges are curtailing government idealism regarding smart cities. This review examines the state of smart city development in developing countries, which includes understanding the conceptualisations, motivations, and unique drivers behind (and barriers to) smarty city development. A total of 56 studies were identified from a systematic literature review from an initial pool of 3928 social sciences literature identified from two academic databases. Data were analysed using thematic synthesis and thematic analysis. The review found that technology-enabled smart cities in developing countries can only be realised when concurrent socioeconomic, human, legal, and regulatory reforms are instituted. Governments need to step up their efforts to fulfil the basic infrastructure needs of citizens, raise more revenue, construct clear regulatory frameworks to mitigate the technological risks involved, develop human capital, ensure digital inclusivity, and promote environmental sustainability. A supportive ecosystem that encourages citizen participation, nurtures start-ups, and promotes public–private partnerships needs to be created to realise their smart city vision.

Abstract:
In 2050, the number of people living in cities will be almost as large as the world’s entire population today. That’s why we need completely new approaches to be taken in order to make our cities to be Smart City. Smart Cities gained importance as a means of making ICT enabled services and applications available to the citizens, and authorities that are part of a city’s system. It aims at increasing citizens’ quality of life, and improving the efficiency and quality of the services provided by governing entities and businesses. Smart City is a type of city that uses new technologies to make them more livable, functional, competitive and modern through the use of new technologies, the promotion of innovation and knowledge management. Cities today are facing significant challenges including increasing populations, infrastructures, and declining budgets.

Connecting global & regional finance to projects - Finance for #SDGs High Level Meeting – #financeforSDGs – Christoph Waldersee – Bellagio – 25-27 February 2015
The document discusses the challenges cities face with rapid urbanization and overburdened infrastructure. It introduces the 360 Smart City Framework developed by Deloitte to help cities define goals and priorities through a discovery process before implementing smart city solutions. The framework addresses domains like transportation, environment, health, and public safety. The document also describes CitySynergy, a platform developed by Deloitte to integrate siloed city systems and data to improve decision-making and services through a centralized command center. Case studies show how the framework and platform have helped cities like Cascais improve functions like mobility, waste management, and service request resolution.
In less than 40 years, 70% of the world’s population will reside in our cities. This rapid
migration will push both current and future urban centres to their seams and expand industrial
and residential infrastructures beyond their breaking points.
This eye-opening fact raises important questions that must be considered by cities around the
world. Can this growth be done in a sustainable way? Will cities be able to reduce their
environmental impact and carbon emissions? Will we be able to meet the sustainability
challenges brought on by regulation and the impact of this massive growth? And, will we
expand in ways which ensure communities are enjoyable places to live and promote social
equality?
We can answer affirmatively to these concerns, and re-design our cities with these thoughts
in mind. With the movement towards smart cities, the urban centres we live in can become
more efficient, livable, and sustainable in both the short and long term, thanks to involvement from city, citizens, and businesses.
Smart citizens play an active role in shaping their communities through technology. They collect and analyze data, share information on social media, and participate in political activism. Engaging citizens is key to smart city initiatives through public forums, social media, and co-creation. Smart citizens can help optimize energy use, adopt renewable energy, and participate in demand response programs. Co-creating smart cities with citizens leads to more inclusive solutions by identifying needs, developing a shared vision, co-designing solutions, implementing and testing them, and ongoing monitoring.
The document outlines a framework for smart city infrastructure, including key elements and foundational infrastructures. It discusses smart city drivers globally, defines what constitutes a smart city, and identifies important stakeholders. It also covers essential ICT networks, the benefits of open government data, cultural obstacles to open data, and the need for executive support of open data initiatives. Examples of smart city applications of building automation, water, and transportation infrastructure are provided.

Gamification for Business, Training and EducationAndy Petroski
Gamification is the concept of applying game techniques to non-game environments. In the past few years, gamification tactics have expanded upon early customer loyalty programs and have applied techniques from games such as story, levels, competition, leaderboards, and challenges to increase customer and employee engagement. Beyond marketing, gamification is being used to motivate learners in education, impact behavior change in healthcare, and motivate actions and performance in business.
