Syllabus
Obiettivi Formativi
The course is aimed at investigating aspects related to the emerging field of "Sustainable Smart Cities". The course will offer students the chance to learn through an enquiry-based, R&I perspective how to understand, design, and implement urban investment, policy, and legal tools that are often adopted by public authorities, private economic operators, and communities to co-develop and co-govern sustainable smart cities. The course will address the opportunities and challenges connected with sustainable smart cities from a legal, policy, political economy and cross-sectoral perspective: sustainable mobility; energy; real estate development and housing; innovation (data governance, IP law; tech transfer); environmental (waste and water management) and social infrastructure.
Prerequisiti
No prerequisites
Metodi didattici
The course will include research-based seminars/lectures on key topics in smart cities, plus lab sessions for group work.
Verifica Apprendimento
Evaluation method: 20% attendance; 20% individual short reaction paper(s);
20% co-creation;
20% group work;
20% individual and group outputs' final discussion.
This course does not foresee mid-term exam.
Students that do not attend the course (i.e. Erasmus students or explicitly authorized students) will be evaluated through an empirically-based case study analysis conveyed in a paper of minimum 10k words. Students that do not attend the course are invited to send an email to the teaching staff at least 60 days before the exam session starting date, to define the topic, outline, research question and hypo, methodology, case studies for the paper. They are expected to attend at least 4 digital office hours to monitor progress.

Testi
The course does not foresee one handbook or book. Every week and for every topic addressed, the course instructors will assign readings to the class. The readings will be posted on the learn.luiss platform.
Examples of potential readings are:
E. Glaeser, The Triumph of the City, 2011
S.R. Foster, C. Iaione, Co-Cities, 2022
Sean Fox, Tom Goodfellow, Cities and Development, 2016
S. Sassen, Global Cities, 1991

Contenuti
The course will first introduce students to the concept of sustainable smart cities from a technological, digital, climate neutrality and justice perspective (social; tech; climate justice). Then, it will address the most controversial features of sustainable smart cities governance in terms of IP production, innovation and tech-transfer processes, data protection and governance, real estate and urban development through the lenses of the most recent business and public policy innovations at EU, national, regional and local level. During the course particular emphasis will be given to the new ways of stewarding and managing the urban land, infrastructure, and services through co-governance, co-development, and co-planning tools. During the course, the student will work in groups to produce as an output the draft of an Horizon Europe “Climate-Neutral and Smart City City Contract” or an EUI-IA grant proposal for a specific EU (or associated country) city based on what they have learned.
Risultati di Apprendimento Attesi
The aim of this course is to provide a complete basic knowledge of the relevant social and technical sciences concepts and techniques to become a consultant, a policymaker, a manager of sustainable smart cities projects. The course will offer key theoretical and practical tools to understand current trends affecting cities around the world, from the digitalization to climate change and overpopulation processes, their consequences in cities like the need to rethink urban infrastructures and services, real estate development and housing, cultural and social activities, to the new policy frontiers created by the technological and ecological transitions (data-driven development, urban tech and IoT for autonomous driving, urban forestation and farming, urban regeneration of old industrial or contaminated sites, etc). This course provides advanced knowledge and analytical resources that will enable students to understand the processes that are taking place in cities around the world, the policies that cities are developing in order to face local and global issues, their content and consequences, and the techniques adopted in cities to study and evaluate business and policy innovations, to write city investment plans, policies and EU grants proposals. The acquisition of this knowledge will be tested through a practical creation of an output during the lab sessions:
• examine concrete case studies of sustainable smart cities projects by conducting scientific research;
• look at how city governments shape, constrain or enable business and policymaking innovations;
• write a EU grants proposals for an urban project (e.g. European Urban Innovations - Innovative Actions, Horizon Europe, Urbact, etc.);
• write an Urban Policy (i.e. an urban investment plan; a city strategy; a regulation).
Making judgements:
We expect students to be able to analyze urban policies and projects to demonstrate an indepth, critical understanding of the scope and challenges of such policies and projects. They are expected to be able to discuss and evaluate key urban innovation projects and policies and to identify concrete solutions to challenges faced by cities and mayors around the world. Throughout the whole course, students will be invited to critically analyze the challenges that cities, entrepreneurs and mayors around the world are facing and their consequences, in order to understand which are the innovations to be adopted.
Applying knowledge and understanding:
The students will be able to understand the connections between global issues and local (city level) solutions and the interconnections between cities and their regional and national systems. Furthermore they will be invited to apply the results of their study by writing short reaction papers, as well as a writing collaborative project in the form of urban projects grants proposals or urban policies facing the above mentioned challenges.
Communications Skills:
This course will give the students the possibility to acquire and understand major terms and concepts in order to communicate their ideas, proposals, analysis and critical reasoning in the field of urban law and of the innovation in cities in the most effective and appropriate way. It will be also a way to test or develop their public speaking and writing capabilities.
