Several solutions and city planning policies have emerged to promote climate change and sustainable cities. The Sharing Cities program has the ambition of contributing to climate change mitigation by improving urban mobility, energy efficiency in buildings and reducing carbon emissions by successfully engaging citizens and fostering local-level innovation. A Digital Social Market (DSM), named Sharing Lisboa, was developed in Lisbon, Portugal, supported by an application (APP), enabling the exchange of goods and services bringing citizens together to support a common cause: three schools competing during one academic year (2018/2019) to win a final prize with the engagement of school community and surrounding community. Sharing Lisboa aimed to promote behaviour change and the adoption of energy-saving behaviours such as cycling and walking with the support of local businesses. Participants earned points that reverted to the cause (school) they supported. A total of 1260 users was registered in the APP, collecting more than 850,000 points through approximately 17,000 transactions. This paper explores how the DSM has the potential to become a new city service promoting its sustainable development. Furthermore, it is crucial for this concept to reach economic viability through a business model that is both profitable and useful for the city, businesses and citizens, since investment will be required for infrastructure and management of such a market.

AbstractIn designing the city of the future, city managers and urban planners are driven by specific citizens’ behaviors. In fact, economic and financial behaviors, and specifically, which goods and services citizens purchase and how they allocate their spending, are playing a central role in planning targeted services. In this context, cashless payments provide an invaluable data source to identify such spending behaviors. In this work, we propose a methodology to extract the consumption behaviors of a large sample of customers through credit card transaction data. The main outcome of the methodology is a concise representation of the economic behavior of people residing in a city, the so-called city consumption profile. We inferred the city consumption profile from a network-based representation of the similarity among the customers in terms of purchase allocation; on top of which we applied a community detection algorithm to identify the representative consumption profiles. By applying the above methodology to a set of credit card transactions of an Italian financial group, we showed that cities, even geographically close, exhibit different profiles which makes them unique. Specifically, usage patterns focused on a single type of good/service—mono-categorical consumption profile—are the main factors leading to the differences in the city profiles. Our analysis also showed that there is a group of consumption profiles common to all cities, made up by purchases of primary goods/services, such as food or clothing. In general, the city consumption profile represents a tool for understanding the economic behaviors of the citizens and for comparing different cities. Moreover, city planners and managers may use it in the outline of city services tailored to the citizens’ needs.

Purpose Cost of living is an important consideration for the decision-making of expatriates and investment decisions of businesses. As competition between cities for talent and capital becomes global instead of national, the need for timely and internationally comparable information on global cities’ cost of living increases. While commercial research houses frequently publish cost of living surveys, these reports can be lacking in terms of scientific rigour. In this context, this paper aims to contribute to the literature by formulating a comprehensive and rigorous methodology to compare the cost of living for expatriates in 103 world’s major cities. Design/methodology/approach A cost of living index for expatriates composed of the ten consumption categories is constructed. The results from the study covers a study period from 2005 to 2014 in 103 cities. More than 280 individual prices of 165 goods and services have been compiled for each city in the calculation of the cost of living index for expatriates. New York has been chosen as the base city for the study, with other cities being benchmarked against it. A larger cost of living index for expatriates implies that the city is more expensive for expatriates to live in and vice versa. Findings While the authors generate the cost of living rankings for expatriates for 103 cities worldwide, in this paper, the authors focus on five key cities, namely, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and Zurich, as they are global financial centres. In 2013, the latest year for which data are available, Zurich was the most expensive for expatriates among the five cities, followed by Singapore, Tokyo, London and Hong Kong. These results pertain to the cost of living for expatriates, and cities compare very differently in terms of cost of living for ordinary residents, as ordinary residents follow different consumption patterns from expatriates. Originality/value Cost of living in the destination city is a major consideration for professionals who look to relocate, and organisations factor such calculations in their decisions to post employees overseas and design commensurate compensation packages. This paper develops a comprehensive and rigorous methodology for measuring and comparing cost of living for expatriates around the world. The value-addition lies in the fact that the authors are able to differentiate between expatriates and ordinary residents, which has not been done in the existing literature. They use higher quality data and generate an index that is not sensitive to the choice of base city.

Kehadiran tanaman di lingkungan perkotaan semakin sulit, mengingat lahan-lahan perkotaan semakin sempit terutama di lingkungan permukiman kota yang umumnya padat dan menyisakan sedikit ruang untuk tanaman. Berbeda dengan permukiman-permukiman padat pada umumnya, Kampung Cibunut RW 07 khususnya RT 05 Kota Bandung terlihat lebih asri, banyak sekali tanaman di lingkungan ini, meskipun lahan terbuka sedikit, gang juga tidak terlalu besar dan teras-teras rumah sangat terbatas. Melihat perkembangan yang sangat baik di Kampung Cibunut, maka penelitian ini layak untuk dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengidentifikasi jumlah dan jenis tanaman, serta cara dan metoda penanaman di ruang sempit dan mengetahui luas diameter tajuk tanaman. Digunakan metoda deskriptif kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui survey dan studi pustaka. Data primer diperoleh melalui observasi lapangan, pengukuran dan pencatatan langsung di lapangan. Setiap tanaman diberi nomor, dan dicatat kemudian seluruh data akan dimasukan ke dalam matrik untuk memudahkan perhitungan. Pembahasan dilakukan untuk mendapatkan ragam jenis tanaman, sistem dan cara penanaman, dan luas total tajuk tanaman. Diharapkan hasil dari penelitian ini dapat ditiru dan diterapkan di permukiman padat sejenis di kota Bandung agar dapat meningkatkan keasrian kawasan dan penyerapan polusi.Kata kunci : Tanaman, Unsur Hijau, Lahan sempit, permukiman padat. AbstraCTPlants are very important to support life as health support, control the microclimate, absorb pollution, and even improve visual quality. The presence of plants in urban environments is increasingly difficult, given that urban lands are increasingly narrow, especially in urban residential areas which are generally dense and leave little room for plants. Unlike the dense settlements in general, Kampung Cibunut RW 07, especially RT 05 Kota Bandung, looks more beautiful, there are lots of plants in this environment, although there is little open land, the alleys are not too big and the terraces of the houses are very limited. Seeing the excellent development in Cibunut Village, this research is feasible to do the aim of identifying the number and types of plants, as well as methods and methods of planting in narrow spaces and knowing the diameter of the plant canopy. Qualitative descriptive method is used, data is collected through surveys and literature studies. Primary data obtained through field observations, measurements, and direct notes in the field. Each plant is numbered, recorded and then all data will be entered into a matrix to facilitate calculation. Discussions were conducted to obtain various types of plants, planting systems and methods, and the total area of the plant canopy. It is hoped that the results of this research can be replicated and applied in similar dense settlements in the city of Bandung to increase the beauty of the area and the absorption of pollution. Keywords: Plants, Green Element, Narrow land, dense settlement.
