Metropolitan cities are among the main places of economic and cultural activity of the 21st century. The growing urbanization and aggregation of metropolitan territorial communities, sustainable development, citizen engagement, economic and cultural attractiveness and governance are among the most important issues facing modern cities. The increasing complexity of these issues and the technological development are leading to an urgent need and the opportunity to radically rethink how we build and operate our cities.
\nThis project aims at studying and developing innovative methods and technologies to offer new intelligent solutions to improve city attractiveness, resource management, and the safety and quality of the life of citizens through the close combination of use and experimentation of advanced communication infrastructure and widespread sensors, and the study and development of innovative vertical solutions.
\nIn particular, the project will be focused on the following topics:<\/p>\n
The project is also accompanied by a dissemination and training plan, in which three Summer Schools will be organized on the subject of Urban Informatics.
\nThe project is part of a broader framework that aims to make Sardinia one of the most important regions in the development and application of innovative technologies for smart cities. In particular, project experiments will be carried out, at a metropolitan city scale, through an agreement with the Municipality of Cagliari and also by means of the computing and network infrastructures made available by the Joint Innovation Center – JIC, located in the scientific and technological park POLARIS (Pula, Cagliari).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11079,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"gruppo":[123],"class_list":["post-14974","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","gruppo-data-intensive-computing-en"],"acf":{"title":"Tessuto Digitale Metropolitano","acronym":"TDM","project_uuid":"9e91efa8-50dd-11e7-82fd-e200aae31812","start_date":"07\/06\/2017","end_date":"06\/10\/2022","funder":"POR FESR Sardegna 2014-2020, Azione 1.2.2 - DELIBERAZIONE RAS N. 66\/14 DEL 13.12.2016","partners":"\n
