Ad oggi non risultano ancora del tutto presenti analisi che esaminino gli effetti di interrelazione fra le ICT e la città in termini generali, taluni tuttavia, già da molto, parlano di città digitale. Ma perché alle città interessano le ICT?

Trasporti, ICT e la città. Perché alla città interessano le ICT?

Ilaria Delponte

Abstract


L’articolo si articola sui tre elementi specificati nel titolo e si concentra sulle interrelazioni fisiche e concettuali fra essi. L’innovazione nel campo dei trasporti consentita dalle tecnologie dell’informazione e comunicazione (ICT) viene mostrata come elemento di sviluppo per il territorio e le sue realtà urbane non solo in virtù del progressivo efficientamento del sistema della mobilità, ma anche per le opportunità economiche che essa genera in seno a quelle città che sanno strutturarsi intorno alle proprie vocazioni territoriali e produttive. Il paper riassume in incipit alcuni studi già condotti sulle ricadute urbane dell’applicazione delle ICT in termini di dimensione e densità degli insediamenti, maggiormente riferiti a ricerche condotte sulla forma urbana. Prosegue incentrando il proprio focus sulle plurime relazioni economiche che legano ICT e città in oggi osservabili, interrogandosi circa l’apporto e le prospettive in termini di competitività che l’avanzamento tecnologico offre ai contesti urbani. L’autore propone in seguito un approfondimento sulle opportunità per i nuovi sistemi ITS (Intelligent Transport System) nel settore dei trasporti, esemplificando il rapporto fra i tre elementi citati mediante il caso riferito al Polo genovese T.R.A.N.S.I.T. Tecnologie e Ricerca Avanzata Network Sicurezza Intermodalità nei Trasporti.
