Ecosystemic Evolution Fed by Smart Systems

摘要

Information Society is advancing along a route of ecosystemic evolution. ICT and Internetadvancements, together with the progression of the systemic approach for enhancement andapplication of Smart Systems, are grounding such an evolution. The needed approach is thereforeexpected to evolve by increasingly fitting into the basic requirements of a significant generalenhancement of human and social well-being, within all spheres of life (public, private, professional).This implies enhancing and exploiting the net-living virtual space, to make it a virtuous beneficialintegration of the real-life space. Meanwhile, contextual evolution of smart cities is aiming at stronglyempowering that ecosystemic approach by enhancing and diffusing net-living benefits over ourown lived territory, while also incisively targeting a new stable socio-economic local development,according to social, ecological, and economic sustainability requirements. This territorial focus matcheswith a new glocal vision, which enables a more effective diffusion of benefits in terms of well-being,thus moderating the current global vision primarily fed by a global-scale market development view.
