Book Description
[CASTELLÀ] Entre los principales objetivos de las smart cities figuran la mejora de la gestión de los recursos energéticos de la ciudad, la disminución de los niveles de contaminación y el aumento de la calidad de vida de la ciudadanía. Una de las tecnologías que permiten la recogida de datos para la consecución de estos objetivos son las redes inalámbricas de sensores (WSN, Wireless Sensor Networks). El hecho de que los nodos que forman estas redes se comuniquen vía radio y que puedan estar alimentados por baterías o por fuentes de alimentación renovables facilita su despliegue, ya que no es necesaria ninguna infraestructura previa. En este trabajo se ha diseñado y desarrollado una red inalámbrica de sensores para la creación de smart cities. Uno de los criterios que se han tenido en cuenta es que la red se pudiera integrar con una plataforma innovadora de gestión de energía de la ciudad. Esta plataforma integra distintos servicios embebidos (puntos de acceso WiFi, cámaras IP, sistemas de señalización digital, pantallas LED, mecanismos de medición inteligentes) en las luminarias de la infraestructura pública de iluminación. La conectividad con Internet se obtiene mediante una red de acceso BPL/PLC que se extiende a través del cableado eléctrico que une las distintas luminarias. La plataforma dispone de un centro de gestión remoto basado en tecnología cloud computing donde todos los datos, incluidos los de los sensores, son almacenados y analizados para la toma "inteligente" de decisiones. Las luminarias se presentan como una ubicación ideal para los nodos de una WSN, porque además de ofrecer protección frente a las condiciones de intemperie y de los actos vandálicos permiten que los nodos se puedan alimentar a través de la red eléctrica. Además, al disponer de acceso a Internet, se soluciona el problema que muchas veces supone el tener que dotar de conectividad IP al dispositivo gateway. La WSN resultante de este trabajo está basada en la plataforma comercial TelosB corriendo bajo el sistema operativo embebido TinyOS. Para la interconexión de estos dispositivos con los sensores que finalmente se ha decidido integrar, se ha utilizado la placa de conexiones auxiliar CBoard. En algunos casos, ha sido necesario diseñar e implementar circuitos adicionales para la conexión de los sensores con la placa auxiliar. Los sensores que se han elegido deberían permitir la implementación de diversos servicios relacionados con la gestión de los recursos de una ciudad. Los módulos software desarrollados permiten la lectura periódica de los sensores, el procesado de los datos adquiridos y su transmisión vía radio hasta un elemento gateway o sumidero. Las comunicaciones radio siguen el estándar IEEE 802.15.4 y se utiliza el protocolo de encaminamiento multisalto NST-AODV. Otras facilidades que se han incorporado al sistema son la agregación de datos y la reprogramación de nodos por el aire. El dispositivo gateway, que tiene conectividad IP, presenta la capacidad de encapsular los datos provenientes de los sensores en una estructura JSON y los puede transmitir, a través de Internet, a un centro de gestión remoto.

Book Description
Smart technologies have advanced rapidly throughout our society (e.g. smart energy, smart health, smart living, smart cities, smart environment, and smart society) and across geographic spaces and places. Behind these "smart" developments are a number of seminal drivers, such as social media (e.g. Twitter), sensors (drones, wearables), smartphone apps, and computing infrastructure (e.g. cloud computing). These developments have captured the enthusiasm of the public, while inevitably present unprecedented challenges and opportunities for the geographic research community. When meeting the smart challenges, are there emerging theories, methods, and observations that reveal new spatial phenomena, produce new knowledge, and foster new policies? Smart Spaces and Places addresses questions such as how to make spaces and places "smart", how the "smartness" affects the way we think spaces and places, and what role geographies play in knowledge production and decision-making in a "smart" era. The collection of 21 chapters offers stimulating discussion over the meaning of spaces, places, and smartness; scientific insights into smartness; social-political views of smartness; and policy implications of smartness. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Annals of the American Association of Geographers.

Book Description
We are living in a critical moment, a reality marked by environmental and socio-economic limits that requires innovative and realistic forms of action and planning. This is what regenerative urbanism proposes, a new approach based on utopian pragmatism that seeks to restore balance to the urban territory by designing systems that allow it to adapt and transform. It is a methodology that defines models that do not consume available resources, but rather generate new ones that ensure compatibility between economic and social prosperity and nature. Santander, Hábitat Futuro (Santander, Future Habitat) is the city model created from this methodology, a proposal for the transformation of this city for the year 2055. It is an open model based on innovation and citizen participation that prepares and adapts the territory for the different scenarios to come. Santander, Habitat Futuro is a guide that directs the commitment of the different social, economic and political agents towards a common goal: to achieve a circular, sustainable, resilient, vertebrate, prosperous, vital and inclusive city. A model that, due to its innovative nature, can serve as an example to other intermediate cities around the world.

Book Description
Las previsiones de los expertos indican que en 2050 la población mundial habrá alcanzado ya la cifra de los nueve mil millones y se calcula que el setenta por ciento de los habitantes vivirá en zonas urbanas y ciudades densamente pobladas. Esto hace que deba replantearse el concepto de ciudad actual, partiendo de la necesidad de crear ciudades más inteligentes y más sostenibles que puedan dar solución a los retos sociales del futuro. Una ciudad inteligente, o smart city, es aquella que aglutina una serie de conceptos basados en la sostenibilidad centrados, fundamentalmente, en tres ámbitos básicos: medioambiental, económico y social, y que busca la mejora de la calidad de vida de sus habitantes. Como se verá a lo largo del libro, la definición de smart city es muy amplia y abarca muchos conceptos. El denominador común de todos ellos será el uso de las TIC como elemento básico que servirá para definir las arquitecturas y los procesos comunes para establecer sistemas inteligentes que acaben aportando valor al ciudadano y al entorno.
