This paper presents some considerations on the relationship between smart cities and metropolitan cities with a special focus on the prerequisites, the sectors that come into play, the strategies that have been or can be activated to implement a “smartization” and “metropolitization” project. Smart cities are efficient cities that, thanks to infrastructural and technological innovation, develop the optimal conditions for the generation of economic-social value and of virtue in terms of the environment and energy through the smart sectors. A smart city, in short, is a city that combines and harmonises six features in particular: mobility, environment, people, living, governance, economy, based on a smart blending of the city’s own resources with the activities of autonomous, independent and attentive citizens (for a smart community). How can a city become smart? What are the difficulties associated with achieving this goal for a city that still presents unsolved planning, economic and social problems? And, based on these prerequisites and on political-territorial aspirations, how can it become metropolitan? With what features and what dimension? And, above all, under what conditions?
Il saggio propone una riflessione sul rapporto smart city e città metropolitana rivolgendo una particolare attenzione ai presupposti necessari, ai settori che entrano in gioco, alle strategie attivate e attivabili per realizzare il progetto “smartierizzazione” e “metropolizzazione”. Le smart cities sono le città efficienti che creano, attraverso innovazioni infrastrutturali e tecnologiche, le condizioni ottimali per produrre valore economico-sociale e virtuosità ambientale-energetica, attraverso gli smart sector. Una smart city, in sintesi, è una città che ben combina e armonizza in particolare sei caratteristiche: mobility, environment, people, living, governance, economy, fondate sulla combinazione “intelligente” delle risorse della stessa città e delle attività di cittadini autonomi, indipendenti e consapevoli (per una smart community). Ma come può una città diventare smart? Quali le difficoltà di assurgere a tale mandato, per una città che ancora presenta questioni urbanistiche, economiche e sociali irrisolte? E, sulla base di questi presupposti e di velleità politiche-territoriali, come diventare metropolitana? Quali le caratteristiche e le dimensioni? E soprattutto le condizioni?

Abstract
This paper presents some considerations on the relationship between smart cities and metropolitan cities with a special focus on the prerequisites, the sectors that come into play, the strategies that have been or can be activated to implement a “smartization” and “metropolitization” project. Smart cities are efficient cities that, thanks to infrastructural and technological innovation, develop the optimal conditions for the generation of economic-social value and of virtue in terms of the environment and energy through the smart sectors. A smart city, in short, is a city that combines and harmonises six features in particular: mobility, environment, people, living, governance, economy, based on a smart blending of the city’s own resources with the activities of autonomous, independent and attentive citizens (for a smart community). How can a city become smart? What are the difficulties associated with achieving this goal for a city that still presents unsolved planning, economic and social problems? And, based on these prerequisites and on political-territorial aspirations, how can it become metropolitan? With what features and what dimension? And, above all, under what conditions?I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
