REAL CORP 2016
SMART IT UP!
How to become and how to stay a "Smart City"?
22-24 June 2016, Hamburg

Introduction to the main topics of REAL CORP 2016

Smart cities go hand in hand with evolvement and improvement of digital technology. They are a post-industrial reaction to the economic, social and political changes and challenges the world has been facing throughout the last decade – like the demographic change, the financial crisis or scarcity of resources. There are lots of approaches to smartness, and there are lots of approaches to define proper smart indicators that tell us something about the smartness of a city. What are their advantages or disadvantages, which approach may claim to be the right one – and why?

Some of the topics for which we invite you to submit an abstract until 15 February 2016:

How to become a Smart City?
How to stay a Smart City?
Smart Cities in Europe, America, Asia, Africa, Australia – same or different?
The role of innovation in Smart Cities
Smart Data in smart spatial services for Smart Governance
Low-Tech Smart Urban Solutions
Smart Cities and Technologies of the Past Centuries
Standardisation attemps for Smart Cities

Besides that, smartness is an attribute that not only can be given to a city, but also to the city’s elements, for example:

Smart Footprint – how to become a Low Carbon City
Smart Mobility – how to handle individual (motorised) traffic and public transport in a city of the future
Smart Logistics – the use of innovative technology for sustainable and reliable deliveries
Smart Energy – effective use of renewable energy and smart metering
Smart Events – sustainably embedding mega events into cities
Smart Safety – dealing with real and virtual security issues in a digital city
Smart Disaster Management – intelligent reaction to catastrophic events
