INTRODUCTION TO SMART CITY CONCEPTS REGARDING THE URBAN SUSTAINABILITY

The content of the course Introduction to Smart City Concepts Regarding the Urban Sustainability is defined with two distinct parts: first is the basic concept of a Smart City and the development of new technologies within one. The lessons are given on the basis of the presentation of examples of worldwide smart cities by analysing the specific strategies that have been developed in them. All of these parts are summarized under the concept of sphere : the link between the biosphere, the Technosphere and the datasphere.

The second part is the definition of technologies and tools that make a city connected. Specifically, the unit develops the limits of the information and its use in the city, as well as knowledge of these information transfer principles by developing tools and well thought out infrastructure.

The course will consist of four units:

• Introducing the smart city model: between urban design, data and entropy (4 h)
• The data shere and retroaction model applied to the smart city model: knowledge model to understand the transition between the ancient city and the data city (4h)
• Example of smart city models: application and criticism (4h)
• Exercises/workshop: writing a scientific article about a subject linked to the course and chosen by the students (12h).

The course is partially taught in FRENCH.
