Clustering of European Smart Cities to Understand the Cities’ Sustainability Strategies

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 13(2), P. 513 - 513

Published: Jan. 7, 2021

This paper analyzes the smart strategies of European cities through dynamic capabilities approach. We develop a clustering based on activities implemented by cities. Our methodology considers three steps. First, we establish an empirical assessment dimensions for 40 Then, categorize and interpret core via principal component analysis. Finally, highlight hierarchical ascending classification identifying relevant groups As result, first cluster represents with emerging strategies. The second regroups international metropolises, which have technology-oriented to deal specific challenges. third stands middle-sized good quality life. outcomes show that there is not just one city but several according cities’ environment. These findings enrich analysis point out how these make sustainable.

Smart Mobility for Smart Cities—Electromobility Solution Analysis and Development Directions

Energies, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 16(4), P. 1958 - 1958

Published: Feb. 16, 2023

Smart mobility supports smart city ideas and concepts. A consequences of activities are more wide common using electromobility. There is no doubt that electromobility a global trend unequivocally the principles sustainable development, while being one basic elements mobility. The following discussion critically addresses indicated topic, especially in context barriers currently exist stand way implementing expected expansion electric cars into urban markets. Considering assumptions, threat pollution associated with increasing number vehicles (passenger freight) should be mitigated solutions. In addition, solutions include promotes zero-emissions. Furthermore, inadequate development charging infrastructure projected energy crisis may result plans to develop market cities under impossible meet. We highlight current state level vehicle market, particular for light commercial (LCVs). this account less than 1% total cars. truth, as shown articles recent years, growth new significant; however, by forecasts, insufficient achieve planned goals so share LCVs will only increase about 25% 2030 there 600,000 on market. article, authors focus answering question if upcoming can significantly affect further dynamic an element undermine create zero-emission economies, cities. Not do we point positive trend, but stress optimistic assumptions its economic situation, Europe, difficult realize. theoretical reflected statistical analyses forecasts their interpretation.

A Hyper-Integrated Mobility as a Service (MaaS) to Gamification and Carbon Market Enterprise Architecture Framework for Sustainable Environment

Energies, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 16(5), P. 2480 - 2480

Published: March 5, 2023

Various human activities emit greenhouse gasses (GHGs) that contribute to global climate change. These include the burning of fossil fuels for energy production, transportation, and industrial uses, clearing forests create farmland pasture, all urban development. As a result, temperatures around world are rising, extreme weather events occurring more frequently, health is suffering because these changes. result massive traffic, agriculture, urbanization, natural environment being destroyed, negatively affecting humans other living things. Humanity plans live in smart cities within this ecosystem as evolves mutations. A city uses technology data improve quality life its citizens efficiency systems. Smart have potential be sustainable they use systems reduce negative impact on environment. can also green transportation waste management water consumption, which help conserve resources protect livable, efficient, environments using data. This paper presents new Enterprise Architecture Framework reducing carbon emissions environmental sustainability combines gamification behavior with blockchain architecture ensure system trustworthy, secure, scalable shareholders, citizens, service providers, vendors. In order achieve this, hyper-integrated framework approach explains roadmap how from based an optimized MaaS improved by gamification. part study, computational model formulation proposed calculate activity exchange values swapping, changing, bartering assets integrated system. aims propose module interoperability approach, so numerical computation parameters not included may belong research studies. spite case study section has been provided example calculation approach.

Connecting the Smart Village: A Switch towards Smart and Sustainable Rural-Urban Linkages in Spain

Land, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(4), P. 822 - 822

Published: April 4, 2023

This research focuses on the dimensions of Smart Village concept to understand what extent smart development in countryside could contribute reducing disparities between rural and urban realities. Population imbalances intensifying climate impacts are prime challenges for areas, which also need counter diminishing infrastructure lack digital competencies enhance their attractiveness. Cities, turn, face own set challenges, such as contamination, natural resources exploitation, high population densities. Local governments have been embracing City approach accomplish sustainable development, might benefit revitalization areas if conducted through a tailored regional approach. Enhanced connectivity realities smartness is, therefore, becoming an important element shaping adaptive, energy-efficient, resilient communities.
