229R_Beyond smart: How ICT is enabling sustainable cities of the future (research summary)
Release Date: 06/17/2024
Description: Are you interested in how information systems help sustainability? Our summary today works with the article titled Beyond smart: How ICT is enabling sustainable cities of the future from 2023 by Hanifa Shah, published in Sustainability journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Ryan Jeffery in episode 230 talking about the information and communication technologies’ effects on urban development. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how ICT can help the creation of smart sustainable cities. This article presents information and communication technologies, also known as ICTs, in a role supporting sustainability in smart cities, promoting effective collaboration and avoiding self-serving outcomes. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: ICT can support sustainability in smart cities, but it must be integrated across all sectors and aligned with clear sustainability goals. Effective alignment of ICT and sustainability requires shared understanding and collaboration between local government, ICT firms, and citizens. Smart city initiatives should prioritize clarity, strong leadership, embedding sustainability in contracts, and enabling citizen participation to ensure ICT genuinely promotes sustainability rather than self-interests. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: Cities around the world face pressing sustainability challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and unsustainable growth. Smart cities have emerged as a response to these challenges, leveraging information and communication technologies (ICTs) to create more efficient and liveable urban environments. However, the concept of smart cities is often defined in vague and ideologically driven terms that lack clear guidelines for promoting sustainability. In this study, we use qualitative methods to examine how the use of ICTs can support the goals of sustainability in smart city development, resulting in what we call a ‘smart sustainable city’. Drawing on a case study involving stakeholder analysis, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, we investigate the key roles of local government, ICT firms, and citizens in shaping sustainable urban development through smart city initiatives. Our findings shed light on the potential of ICTs to promote sustainability in smart cities and provide insights for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars working towards creating more sustainable urban environments. The findings of this research showed that ICT’s role in supporting sustainability in smart cities relies on understanding the interests and priorities of civic, ICT firms, and citizens, promoting effective collaboration and avoiding self-serving outcomes.

118R_Smart sustainable cities – Exploring ICT solutions for reduced energy use in cities (research summary)
Release Date: 03/13/2023
Description: Are you interested in ICT solutions to reduce urban energy use? Our summary today works with the article titled Smart sustainable cities – Exploring ICT solutions for reduced energy use in cities from 2014 by Anna Kramers, Mattias Höjer, Nina Lövenhagen and Josefin Wangel, published in the Environmental Modelling and Software journal. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how ICT – information and communication technology – can help reducing urban energy use. This article presents an analytical framework for ICT opportunities to be combined with household functions that use energy. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: A city can become smart and sustainable by having climate targets and using ICT strategically to help achieve those targets – because ICT has great potential in highlighting potential issues with energy use for example. In order to turn the potentials into real savings, cities need to explore the opportunities thoroughly and investigate how they can best support the implementation of different ICT. Businesses need to learn how best to design and implement ICT solutions that decrease energy use. You can find the episode through this link. Abstract: This article explores the opportunities of using ICT as an enabling technology to reduce energy use in cities. An analytical framework is developed in which a typology of ICT opportunities is combined with a typology of household functions, i.e. all the activities that require energy. The energy used for household functions is calculated using a consumption-based lifecycle perspective. The analytical framework is intended to be of use to researchers, city and regional authorities and ICT companies interested in acquiring a better understanding of how ICT investments could contribute to reduce energy use in cities.

Episode 38 - ICT Environmentalism and the Sustainability Game, with Hunter Vaughan and Nicole Starosielski
Release Date: 08/17/2023
Description: If you want to make infrastructure sustainable, you need to be very careful what words you use. That's what Hunter Vaughan and Nicole Starosielski found, through their involvement in a project to make subsea cables sustainable. Words like "sustainability" and "climate neutral" can mean different things, depending on who is talking. And if what you say is vague, then your efforts to be sustainable can get misdirected, or diverted into greenwash, or simply end up (like the words) meaningless. Hunter Vaughan of the University of Cambridge and Nicole Starosielski of the University of California, Berkeley are part of the Sustainable Subsea Network. They are also co-authors of a paper called ICT Environmentalism and the Sustainability Game, which looks at how players like Greenpeace used language to build pressure for green infrastructure. They spoke to DCD about both: how we communicate about sustainability, and how sustainable our communications systems are.
