ICT for Urban Sustainability (ICTUS)
ICTUS aims to establish an understanding and evaluate how smart sustainable city (SSC) initiatives in some selected cities in the world have been envisioned, initiated, planned, implemented and managed, and to develop recommendations for the governance of future SSC-initiatives. This way, the project is working directly with the overarching question of CESC, applied to cities.
The sub-project “The Handbook” (A) aims at providing new knowledge regardingbhow to plan for SSC, and to disseminate this knowledge to the most important actors. The resulting handbook should also be useful as a communication tool between those planning sustainable cities and those providing the solutions.
In the “collaborative sharing” sub-project (B), the aim is to research critical factors for initiating and sustaining sharing initiatives. In particular, the sub-project aims at exploring the role of the municipality as well as the role of ICT as a tool in sharing resources. The sub-project is particularly interested in sharing initiatives with a positive environmental impact.
The sub-project “Social” (C) aims at testing a method for social assessment of SSC that will be developed within the Methods IV
project. The planning for this sub-project intends to start spring 2016.
