The future of smart cities depends upon an efficient and flexible energy system. In order to enable an increasing role of energy flexibility, several Integrated ICT tools are proposed to support the exchange of information and innovative services that support the operation of the electricity network in a context of high penetration of intermittent renewable energy supply. This paper discusses...
Many European cities experience substantial air pollution. In Norway, air pollution causes around 2.000 premature deaths every year and the external costs related to these health effects amounts to 8-13 billion Euros per year.
Municipalities need real-time environmental data at high spatial and temporal resolution in order to design effective plans, prioritize and monitor actions for...
Mixed reality produces new environments and visualizations to facilitate remote working, training and learning. Several industrial and public sectors search how to utilise MR technology to reduce human errors and cognitive workload. However, the work process to design mixed reality application fit to the purpose is still lacking, and partitioners still find several difficulties to determine...
The proposed paper aims to investigate the evolving role of digital technologies in relation to citizen-led urban activism in European cities, focusing on the evolution of civic crowdfunding initiatives in European cities.
An increasing number of digital platforms underpinned the growth of civic crowdfunding initiatives in European cities in the last few years, creating increased...
The use of typologies to better understand metropolitan areas has a long tradition within the field of urban studies, but they traditionally focus on separate elements. Thus, typology-based approaches tend to provide a greater depth regarding tangible differences of one spatial feature but cannot capture the interrelation between elements. Recently, various studies suggest typomorphology as a...
The transportation sector is consuming a high quantity of oil and producing air pollution, CO2, allergies, as well as promoting the storage of goods in traditional warehouses. It’s creating not only waste and polluted the environment but also increase the temperature, air pollution, and low rainfall. The present study intends to uncover and understand the challenges of logistic infrastructure...
In recent years, smart city strategies have increasingly incorporated urban experiments as a core part of Smart and involving citizens in it. Indeed, urban experimentation enacts new forms of governance, from top-down techno-scientifical to bottom-up participation of different stakeholders. Beyond the understanding of other contexts and shared learnings, there is a potential to co-produce...
The Green Deal promotes climate neutrality in Europe by 2050. According to the European Mission “100 climate-neutral cities by 2030 – by and for the citizens”, this ambitious goal cannot be reached without making an ecological and cultural transformation in our cities, engaging the widest range of stakeholders. The public administrations play a central role in planning and implementing energy...
Mosvatnet is a lake located within Stavanger, Norway, and it is considered a national bird sanctuary. In the eastern side of the lake lies an islet that acts as a bird nesting ground. The expansion of Stavanger has forced more construction of important transport infrastructure. Such urban developments have altered the lake footprint and the surrounding landscape along with the geological...
The linear city (Stavanger-Sandnes) has a plan to transform the mixed-traffic bus routes into bus rapid transit (BRT) systems, to provide frequent high and punctual transportation, increase passenger satisfaction (wait time, travel time), citizen satisfaction (integrity with public cars and other vehicles) and achieve higher sustainable measures (CO2 emission, road deterioration, energy for...
To fully grasp platform urbanism, we must broaden our scope as urban scholars to include the vast undergrowth of ‘other’ platforms and study how they intersect with the social and material fabric of cities. Drawing from media and internet studies, urban sociology, and digital geography, I introduce the novel concept of ‘urban digital platform’ (UDP). I do so theoretically by using a digital...
Many cities, including Amsterdam, have adopted the mission towards climate-neutral and socially innovative cities. To this purpose, Amsterdam funds, supports and participates in many research and innovation (R&I) projects across the city. These projects address a wide variety of innovations in different domains (technical, economic, social, governance and planning). AUAS is involved as...
