Summary:

This book is based on the results of a meeting withing the framework of the SMART CITY 4.0 Sustainable LAB project in which the universities of Emilia-Romagna participate. It covers the topic of smart city regulation from a double perspective. On the one hand, it discusses rights in a smart city. Here, the book analyses the impact that urban transformation in a smart sense can have on constitutional rights, concerning, for example, social inclusion policies. It also discusses the topic of smart work, suggesting some innovative directions for the future. Further it suggests new ways to regulate the use and sharing of data and in general of technologies in smart cities to improve public services. The second part of the book deals with smart cities governance. It provides a fresh reflection on citizen participation and decision-making processes in the city of the future, analyzing some examples of digitalization and drawbacks in its availability throughout the national context (with a focus on the Italian situation). In turn, it discusses the fast evolution of the regulatory framework for automated driving in Europe, as an exemplary case study, offering some timely reflections on human safety. All in all, this book offers a comprehensive review of current questions concerning smart city regulation, merging different perspectives and providing both researchers and professionals with a source of inspiration for new research, developments, and interdisciplinary collaborations.
