This second edition of “Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions”, held in Bolzano in 2017, focused on the transition of urban areas towards smarter and more sustainable places to live.
Towards this aim, planners, researchers and stakeholders discussed, in a multidimensional perspective, both the urgent issues related to climate change and energy efficiency, and the new potential changes introduced by cities’ digitalization and the integration of ICT in infrastructures, mobility, and social interactions. In this scenario, effective planning requires a global overview and understanding of the past and current state of cities as well as a holistic approach in redirecting their future development and regeneration.
