Scopus “What do we know already about smart and liveable cities?”The objective is to manage knowledge to:1)identify and recognise the forms and functions of “smart and liveable cities”; 2)support an evolving framework for collaborative urbanism in partnership with citizens.

Target To compile state-of-the-art information, knowledge and data (1st year bottom-up)Main open question: how the “software” and “hardware” of cities can address societal, economic and political challenges. Priorities: The platform will identify the sources, type and volume of digital data available and even more importantly the gaps in data needed to understand the needs, preferences and behaviour of citizens.

Covered topics Governance, User Needs and Attitudes, Urban Design, Public Health, Entrepreneurship, Digital Data Sources/Technology, etc. Being comprehensive is not possible just start from what we need!

First set of state-of-the-art reviews (SOAs) that would serve as catalysts for further developments (to be integrated through LinkedIn to design a first book that will be followed by the one based on the PhD day):

• Reference Cities – evaluate their status as a ‘people-friendly city’ and inventory / classify their (data-rich?) projects heading in this direction (referent: Mary-Lee Rhodes)

• Participative processes for urban sustainability projects and new business models on people friendly cities (referent: Francesco Rizzi)

• Use of sensors for improving urban livability (referent: Arturas Kaklauska)

• OGD (Open Government Data) implementations (referent: Lorena Pocatilu)

• Use of Volunteered geographic information (VGI) to inform planning/policy processes and privacy issues in a “Data-rich” world (Referent: Guilia Melis)
