The most important challenge for planners and administrations is to identify optimal strategies for improving city life from a global point of view. Urban Planning models should therefore provide solutions in a coordinated and holistic way and should be flexible and adapted to different contexts and territorial levels. Currently, a global approach to the development of Smart Cities is still missing. In this paper the authors developed a planning methodology based on the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the reciprocal impacts among Smart strategies applied at the district level.

Today, cities are facing many challenges such as pollution, resource consumption, gas emissions and social inequality. Many future city views have been developed to solve these issues such as the Smart City model. In literature several methods have been proposed to plan a Smart city, but, at the best of the authors’ knowledge, only a few of them have been really applied to the urban context. Most of them are indeed theoretical and qualitative approaches, providing scenarios that have not been applied to real cities/districts.

Il contributo affronta il tema del progetto degli spazi pubblici aperti come definizione di un sistema di luoghi che - nella città contemporanea – oltre a interagire con il costruito in termini di reciproco feedback microclimatico, configura un’infrastruttura di supporto per l’uso efficiente delle risorse materiali e immateriali su scala di insediamento.
