Abstract

When can a city and a community be called smart ? The perspective of this research is that smart cities and territories are the ones which create the governing, infrastructural and technological conditions to produce social innovation and economic development. The main dimensions of a smart city are therefore: the economic one, linked to the presence of innovative activities and to the ability to attract economic and professional capitals; the human and social capital one, so a city is smart when its inhabitants are smart, thanks to their competences, creativity, relationships, social inclusion and tolerance; the governance one, to be considered as the adoption of governing models, which aim to place central importance on relational resources and attention on common goods, and as the creation of opportunities to favour the civic participation in the public value creation. The thesis of this research is that the more a territory’s innovation and creativity rate is increased, thanks to an efficacious public intervention supporting youth growth and participation, and the more we identify physical and virtual places of exchange between creative individuals groups and organizations, the more cities and territories become ”smart”.
