The vision of the iCity partnership is to ensure the city of the future is liveable, intelligent and sustainable (LIS). Such a city is increasingly connected through digital means, uses resources efficiently, implements intelligent mobility concepts and guarantees that its infrastructure is supplied with a high ratio of renewable energy via grid-bound infrastructure. Further to these technical aspects, approaches for intelligent cities are increasingly human-centred, integrative, fliexible, and thus placing the well-being of the inhabitants and a better quality of life at the centre of developments.
The essential part of "intelligence" consists not only in driving forward technical-ecological innovations, it also involves integrating social and economic aspects and developing user-centred solutions.
In order to meet these challenges, innovations must be developed through inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation with partners in the areas of research, business, administration, politics and civil society.
We would like to encourage researchers at HFT Stuttgart as well as students to submit papers or contributions on their projects or thesis work related to the topics mentioned above.
The book will be the third publication in the HFT series by Springer Verlag. The other two previously published books are "Digitalen Wandel gestalten – Transdisziplinäre Ansätze aus Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft" (2019) and "Innovations for Metropolitan Areas – Intelligent Solutions for Mobility, Logistics and Infrastructure designed for Citizens" (2020).
Potential authors are requested to submit a corresponding author and a draft title by 15.07.2020 via easychair.
This should serve as a basis for an initial feedback on the suitability for the book in principle. However, the editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts in special cases at any time.
