Research groups

Despite the growth of initiatives related to smart cities, to date, there is still no organizational reference procedure and there are also models that face organizational and management challenges. These schemes are compatible with traditional resources. The concepts of all these factors can lead to vicious or virtuous cycles in smart city initiatives, but very little about these factors will be identifiable and mapped. The group's contribution is to support through longitudinal studies, natural experiments and comparative analysis in the field of smart cities, to improve the understanding of various impact factors that influence the capacity for innovation, resilience, sustainability, and quality of life of citizens in the cities. In addition, the new forms of entrepreneurship on the "city system", citizens and research centers for the success and development of smart cities.
