| Full description: |
The new model of urban management led to the emergence of many concepts: world city or global city, networked city, digital city, ubiquitous city, informational city, knowledge city, creative city, and – finally – smart city, for which the ultimate technological framework is the Internet of Things. The smart city concept is used as an umbrella for a large spectrum of solutions and programs, as it is used as a generic term to describe ICT-based urban ecosystems. “Smart city” is still a fuzzy concept, having its origins rather in marketing than in science, and as the result, there is no broadly accepted academic definition for this term. For some, however, there are three conceptual dimensions of a smart city: technology, people, and community, which means that a city becomes smart, when “investments in human/social capital and IT infrastructure fuel sustainable growth and enhance the quality of life, through participatory governance”. However, the final goal for every smart city is to improve citizens’ quality of life and environmental preservation. The aim of the course is to familiarize students with selected concepts regarding the modeling of contemporary urban spaces. Approaches such as smart city, creative city, resilient city, digital city will be discussed. Particular emphasis will be placed on solutions supporting the cooperation of various stakeholder groups in creating solutions for urban needs and specific technological solutions implemented in cities.
