The Impact

The article examines the impact of digital technologies on the sustainable development of ecological and economic systems. The main aspects that make the development of digital technologies especially relevant for environmental modernization and sustainable development are analyzed. It is shown that the large-scale use of digital technologies contributes to the development of new tools, models and methods of urban management. One of the promising areas for the development of the urban environment in these conditions is the concept of a smart city. Based on the analysis of research on the topic of smart cities, the effects of the use of the smart city model for the formation of the foundations of sustainable development of territories are noted.

Resumo A pandemia da COVID-19 vem afetando o modo de vida nas cidades. Em alguns países - como o Brasil - a curva epidemiológica cresce significativamente, exigindo respostas rápidas da administração pública. Esta pesquisa, conduzida em abril de 2020, visa caracterizar a utilização de ferramentas digitais na adaptação das cidades brasileiras à pandemia, baseada no conceito de smart city. Para tanto, buscou-se traçar um panorama da adoção de ferramentas digitais pela administração pública nas cem maiores cidades brasileiras, como resposta aos desafios impostos pela situação pandêmica, contribuindo para efetivar o isolamento ou para adaptar o funcionamento de atividades. Os resultados indicam a aplicação de tais estratégias em 83% das cidades pesquisadas, segundo a distribuição geográfica de casos da doença confirmados. A concentração das iniciativas sugere que a adoção da tecnologia acompanha a previsão da curva de infecção, e aponta para a tendência de adoção das estratégias em locais de contexto historicamente favorável à inovação. Característica fundamental das cidades inteligentes, o recurso à tecnologia digital na otimização dos serviços indica que as cidades pesquisadas estão, em algum nível, seguindo uma tendência mundial.

Chapter 5 explores the use of distributed ledger technologies in cities to help improve citizen-centric services: land registries, health care, welfare payments, identity, supply chains, and voting. McKinsey analysts predict that by 2020 the number of smart cities will reach 600 worldwide, and 5 years later almost 60% of the world's GDP will be produced in them. Digital technologies could become an engine of economic progress, and Blockchain could be one of those technologies. This connectivity, however, comes at a cost. How will cybersecurity evolve with Web 3.0 and 4.0 technologies to protect cities from cyber-attacks? This chapter introduces how Blockchains may be used to resolve a range of city-based challenges arising from broader global concerns like national population increases, urban density, anthropomorphic climate change, urban pollution and mobility, local and national citizen services, and infrastructure.

Deleuze's Postscript on the Societies of Control has been the most common entry point for interrogating the ways in which contemporary digital technologies have altered the social and the subjective from a Deleuzo-Guattarian perspective. It is, however, in A Thousand Plateaus that we find the most comprehensive set of resources for grappling with the Algocene, the contemporary digitally interconnected world of ubiquitous computing, drones, data mining, smart cities, social media, automated trading and other data-driven technologies that are heavily reliant upon algorithmic processes and deep learning networks. In this broad survey, I argue that in order to grapple with these new technological assemblages and the implications of their deployment across society, we should posit a new major stratum, the algoplastic, and, along with it, new modes of operation of order-words and the regimes of signs they form part of. I conclude by posing some of the new problems that emerge with the Algocene.

The City

The term smart city is often synonymous with a sustainable city. The word smart implies the use of digital technology that serves to make processes and services more efficient and to connect the different actors on the urban scene. However, this is no guarantee of sustainability. A city can become sustainable if it changes its metabolism and from linear to circular as in nature's ecosystems. For this to happen, it is necessary to overcome the paradigm of quantitative economic growth based on the infinite substitutability between natural and economic capital. If smart city governance stakeholders primarily pursue profit according to the logic of the free market, the city may be smarter and efficient in the use of energy and resources, but it is not sustainable, often not even inclusive. The challenge of sustainability implies a paradigm shift and the use of digital technologies at the service of the collective good. In this context, after a general analysis of the characteristics of smart cities, the chapter focuses on an Italian case study, Turin Smart City.

Subject Smart cities. Significance As the global population continues its migration to urban centres, cities worldwide face pressure to evolve to serve more citizens with the same resources. 'Smart cities' (or regions that leverage digital technologies) are one solution, although their adoption depends on multiple factors, including the city’s wealth, population density, policy support and technological status. Impacts Municipalities that embed technologists across city departments and planning cycles will advance smart city initiatives more quickly. Transport, construction and utilities firms will be at the forefront in deploying 'smart solutions'. Geostrategic calculations, especially as regards China, will increasingly weigh on the IT supply chain for ‘smart projects’.

Fierce Competition

Describing contemporary geospatial requires an appropriate amount of information. That is “smart” information, which in turn requires “smart” infrastructure, created using modern digital technologies. The circular dependency occurs: alone digital technology and communication means themselves influence the geoospatial, making the world smaller and creating fierce competition among industry players. New geospatial technologies give the opportunity of a three-dimensional map trackicg of accommodation and calculating the possible actions of potential competitors. One of the elements of the new technology is the so-called “hexagonal geospatial technology” that helps to understand the meaning of the dynamically changing world. These technologies have successfully been used for creating “smart” cities and functioning of urban agglomerations. The purpose of the paper is to show the possibilities of geospatial technologies and problems associated with their use. The author used the materials of the jhournals “Geospatial World” and “Hexagon geospatial”.
