Resumen

El autor sugiere que a la vista de los desarrollos del manido término smart city y su uso en el planeamiento de ciudades, es necesario vincularlo con las existentes transformaciones urbanas. Con ánimo de de-construir o des-conectar la palabra de moda smart city, el autor elabora en este artículo a la luz de cuatro proyectos Smart City de la UE actuales en el que ha estado trabajando. La conclusión del artículo radica en la clara necesidad de conectar a los grupos de interés estableciendo una nueva, compleja, y ciudadregional urbanidad como una manera de transitar hacia un paradigma de ciudad y región inteligentes. Es por ello que, para conectar grupos de interés, se deberían considerar los siguientes elementos: las interdependencias entre ellos; la necesidad de mecanismos democráticos para gestionar los datos; el requerimiento de escalar soluciones urbanas a las escala metropolitana y ciudadregional; el énfasis en proveer de datos comparativos basados en evidencias; y finalmente, la tendencia de establecer no únicamente analíticas cuantitativas, sino rankings cualitativos y tableros/cuadros de mando integrales de ciudad que favorezcan la adaptabilidad en vez de la replicabilidad.
