The document discusses urban lifecycle management as a research program for smart government of smart cities. It proposes a three step approach: 1) strategic analysis of goals, functions, and stakeholders; 2) inventorying technical, social, and resource "building blocks"; 3) integrating the blocks in a bottom-up process to create an autopoetic ecosystem. Key aspects include defining metrics to measure ecosystem balance, integrating data and standards, improving social capital, and ensuring resilience to avoid system collapse. The goal is to design an imperfect but learning city through citizen-centered integration of disciplines and innovation.
Smart Cities greatly affects Urban Planning, Architecture and Art decisions. The reverse is true as well. The right Urban Planning, Architecture and Art can become great magnets to attract Smart People. One cannot have a Smart City w/o all those key ingredients.

Smart cities of the future? It´s already happening, but not in the way we are...Manu Fernández
Presentation by Manu Fernández at Re:Work Cities London, 13th December.
Here are my notes I prepared for the Re·Work Cities summit that was held in London. As you can see, my intervention was mostly based on my essay for Smart Citizens book, Smart cities of the future? It´s already happening, but not in the way we are being told.
Three main ideas:
Technology alone is not the enough and this basic premise, which seems so obvious, is not well embedded in the smart city narrative, I will explain it later.
There´s no need to wait for smart cities to happen or for others to let people transform the city with their own hands.
We need to raise questions and have a critical mindset on the implications of these technologies.
Citizen Centric Governance for Smart TerritoriesFrancesco Niglia
This study highlights the needs of a strategy for the application of the user-centricity paradigm to a smart territory as result of an extensive international campaign engaging around one thousand of citizens and four hundred organisations. A simple scheme for defining the role and the governance of a territory in the achievement of targets of sustainability and improved acceptance of public services is defined in terms of trends outlined by white papers, targets and methods of citizens’ engagement.
Though 100 smart cities is being talked around many times, common people still doesn't clearly know what exactly the project is. This presentation will help to orient yourselves to the 100 smart cities project. This is in no way the ideas of the author or is influenced by the authors opinions. The presentation is purely based on the vision, mission and strategies of India Govt guidelines.

China's Housing Development Strategy in the New NormalSTLLab
As China has entered into a new development phase of "balanced transition" (also known as the "new normal"), the housing sector is facing tough challenges in maintaining the previous growth rate. In this turning point, the question of how to cultivate new development strategies for both the government and private sectors represents an urgent task. Dr. Shao's talk will focus on three issues:
1. How to understand the existing market situation;
2. How to evaluate housing policies; and
3. How to design a new strategy for stabilizing the real estate sector.

Extended administration is a recent concept developed as an extension of extended enterprise to design a virtual organization encompassing the value chain from every angles. Considering the smart cities as a research field, we develop an approach of modeling the smartness of the city as an ecosystem. We assume that the best in position to carry out the role of system architect is the public actor. We propose a framework for a methodology and point out the relevant methodologies and competencies that could be the basics of P.A conceived as an extend administration.
Planning for a Smarter Society - Ericsson Business Review #1 2010Giorgio Andreoli
The digital revolution is deeply influencing the way new cities are designed. But the impact so far on existing cities has been limited. What is needed is one common, comprehensive model to help planners agree on priorities for
new infrastructures and new services. Adding the dynamics of ICT to present models is a necessary first step.
1. Letter to all state governments to shortlist potential Smart Cities based on Stage-I criteria according to a number of Smart Cities distributed across states /UTs by the MoUD. This is the first stage of the Intra-State competition.
2. On the basis of response from States/UTs, the list of potential 100 Smart Cities is announced. The second stage of the All India competition begins.
3. Each potential Smart City prepares its proposal assisted by a consultant (from a panel prepared by MoUD) and a hand-holding External Agency (various offers received such as World Bank, ADB, GEF, USTDA, JICA, DFID, AFD, KfW, UN-Habitat)
4. By stipulated date, Stage 2 proposals submitted. Evaluation by a panel of experts.

The future digital city as well as the digital government must be ‘human-centric’ to serve its 3 kinds of stakeholders: its citizens, its businesses actors and its visitors. A city is not smart because it hosts new technologies. A city is smart when most of the citizen are really enjoying the use of top of mind services and systems provided by the municipality. Thus, leaders of future cities must demonstrate a real mindset and leadership in designing their cities with systems and services that their digital citizens will seize. It means a new governance must be established in order to link the needs of the citizens with the smart solutions to be implemented to fulfil those needs, in order to bridge the functionalities and data that are currently segregated by silos in the city (Transportation, Electricity and water distribution, Buildings, Mobility, Waste management, Retail, Public safety, Health, Education, Culture…) and at the end of the day in order the city to become a collaborative environment. The city has to be thought and designed as a complex system of systems and not as a simple juxtaposition of administrative services and data to be provided to its stakeholders.

Direct democracy as the keystone of smart city governance as a complex systemUniversité Paris-Dauphine
We consider the smart city not as an addition of « smarties » (technological devices) but as system capable of evolution all along its lifecycle. This cycle has been described as Urban Lifecycle Management (Rochet 2015) since a city never dies and must be able to reconfigure itself while its internal and external environment changes.
Literature on cities as evolving ecosystems (Batty 2015) considers this evolutionary process can’t be steered in top down way, either by a supra rational actor, or on a self regulating basis as claimed by the authors of the first order cybernetics.
Integrating all the components of this evolution in the context of iconomics (economics of the III° industrial revolution)we examine why direct democracy appears to be the best drivers for this regulation and what could be its process.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

16. Bottom up patterns
integration: social
intelligence
A smart city as an autopoetic
ecosystem must be designed as
an imperfect city in an
imperfect world able to reframe
itself according to the evolution of
its environment.
Integration is not made once and
for all but is a permanent
process all along the urban
lifecycle. A smart integration is
made according the ends of the
city and must be citizen
centered and not techno
centered.

18. In / out
Urban ecosystem : three perimeters:
first the city itself where the synergies and interactions are the
stronger and have the most “eco” properties.
Second the periphery: one may refer here to the model defined by
Thünen representing the city with a succession of concentric
rings going from the highest increasing return activities at the
center city to decreasing return activities at the periphery.
third is the external environment with witch the city exchanges

19. Defining metrics to measure the global balance of
the ecosystem
• Integrating imported
pollution, energy waste….
produced by a
dysfunctional
ecosystem
• Is the city really green?

23. Datafication

Legacy: How the city has evolved in
the past
•Hard data: statistics
•Soft data: human memory
=> understanding the technological
trajectory and social capital
Present and future: Understanding
how the city is evolving
•Observatory for hard and soft data
•Big data
Understanding the present behavior
=> Evaluating the scalability and
resilience, improving social capital
24. Requisites for a successful integration
• Common standards
for data => Chief Data
Officers
• Common standards
for building: BIM
• Vivere politico as
permanent integrative
process
25. Integrating PLM

Innovation within building blocks has different speeds
With smart networks innovation cycles are connected:
(before, no): a permanent challenge
The city dweller is the decider in last resort of the
impact of any innovation on the city life: Good/Bad,
useful/unusual, improve/kill
26. Power to technology or
to citizens?
Correlations => Induction
Deduction =>Hypotheses
Where is the brain?

32. The research and training program
• Integrating and upgrading into smart
cities issues the basics of complex
systems architecture as a basic
baggage for SC stake holders
• Learning by doing: Applied research
to the building of pilot projects
• Convergence of disciplines:
engineering, social sciences, urban
sociology, system architecture, political
philosophy, complex decision making
