[概要]
In this presentation Dr. Nyberg considered the emergence of the concept of ‘smart cities’, through the efforts of various types of organisations active in this area, and what are some of the policy implications that this phenomenon may have. He grounded the main discussion by first describing some of the conceptualisations of smart cities. Although there is no one widely accepted definition, this concept is frequently seen as a way to achieve efficiencies in utility services such as energy, water, waste and transport. He also briefly summarised some of the main concerns discussed in smart cities literature. He then described his on-going project on smart cities and what are the more prominent findings so far. In the last part of the presentation he related these findings and insights to first some of the organisation theory frameworks, and then to policy research frameworks, and considered what are possible policy implications. He concluded by reflecting on possible contributions to policy research, organisation theory and research methods.
