Climate change is considered one of the main environmental issues challenging contemporary cities. Meanwhile, urban development patterns and growth population represent contributors to climate change, affecting total energy consumptions related greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, a breakthrough in current required counterbalance climate-related issues. This study focuses on Smart City Resilient concepts; detail, based review existing literature, it analyzes synergies between two concepts,...

The concept of “Smart City”, providing a solution for making cities more efficient and sustainable, has been quite popular in recent years, encouraging reflections, ideas, researches projects “smart” urban development. A smart city is generally meant as capable joining “competitiveness” “sustainability”, by integrating different dimensions development addressing infrastructural investments able to support economic growth well the quality life communities, careful management natural...

From an urban planner perspective, a city is smart when able to respond the needs of its inhabitants in more efficient and sustainable way, mainly by properly using information communication technologies (ICTs). This definition highlights importance two main factors for development smarter cities: citizens technology. Human social capital, indeed, play key role, new have be integrated into citizens' habits order effectively improve sustainability. Such considerations apply especially...

The consequences of climate change urges researchers to investigate the issues environmental sustainability, and definition policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) has become more urgent.In this context, urban areas play a significant role since here, economic, productive social activities are concentrated and, therefore, majority GHG produced.For these reasons, many cities worldwide making big efforts improve their level but is worthy investment in terms territorial...

City transformations are also due to the development of new energy sources, which have influenced economy and lifestyles, as well physical functional organization urban systems. Cities key place where it is need act for achievement strategic environmental objectives, such reducing greenhouse gas emissions saving. The hard resolution these challenges depends on several factors: their multidimensional nature, change economic settlement model, complexity relationships between elements that...

The paper proposes a focus on three main aspects related to the spread of new coronavirus in our country: correlations that have been established between Covid-19 virus and settlement system country;the urban territorial phenomena can be associated, positively or negatively, with diffusion virus;and, finally, correspondence homogeneous clusters Italian provinces (due current most significant phenomena) intensity infection research is divided four steps: identification scientific disciplinary...

The extreme events that the planet is experiencing are indisputable proof of climate change. Effective strategies required to reduce exposure and vulnerability cities such risks. This work aims contribute cultural technical debate on governance urban transformations for limiting impacts related global warming, focusing Mediterranean Sea. research shows how social economic characteristics influence response change-related hazards. consideration reinforces idea seeking integrated solutions...

Smart is an expression used in recent years science, and it refers to someone or something that shows a lively intelligence, with quick learning curve fast response external stimuli. The present scenario dominated by the accelerated technological development involves every aspect of life, enhancing everyday tools through use information digital processing: everything smart, even cities. But when you pair term smart complex organism such as city significance two together open variety...

Contemporary cities have to deal with numerous challenges, from the growth and aging of urban populations scarcity resources; environmental degradation climate change. The latter, also due increasing severity climate-related impacts on areas, is widely considered one most urgent challenges for development in near future: are main contributors energy consumption GHG emissions, paying, at same time, highest price impacts. Thus, issues gained importance last decades, both terms metaphors coined...

This paper describes a part of the research carried out by Department Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering (DICEA) University Naples “Federico II”, within Project Smart Energy Master for energy management territory, financed PON 04a2_E R&C Axis II, from 2012 to 2015. Today that idea smart city draws attention urban planners policy makers and, at same time, global competitiveness is considered essential success city, aims investigate relationship between concept competitive...

The population growth of those living in urban areas reaches 50% the total population, causing air pollution and energy consumption, which is also due to high density activities.This gradual process urbanization, covers an area equal 2% world, responsible for about 75% consumption resources.Although cities are place where there a wide concentration demand attention given implications this phenomenon still inadequate.These considerations allow perceive that such things require broader...

In recent years, the effects of climate change on urban areas have pushed more and policy-makers planners to deal with management territorial transformations in a systemic multi-sector perspective, due complexity issue. order enhance governance cope environmental sustainability, concept resilience can be used. this present work has double purpose: one hand reflect he need adopt new comprehension/interpretive approach study city, which embraces resilience, other perform reading European...
