  • Descrição: In this scenario, the text by Carlo Ratti and Matthew Claudel, based upon specific research activity carried out by the authors at the Senseable City Lab of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, attempts to discover, but also to imagine the metropolis of tomorrow, by investigating technologies, ideas, development prospects that could have an impact on the form and function of today's cities, and technologies and concepts structured and developed starting from network digital models, data driven models, and models that in any case recognize the central, fundamental and essential role of man and citizens in the implementation of urban development. [...]different ideas and scenarios are analyzed and developed, such as the notion of digitally integrated urban space, where technology transforms the city into a space where the network of digital systems have a strong and real impact also upon the kinds of relation and social interactions among individuals; ubiquitous computing that can generate information flows based on sensors (that can detect environmental conditions and human and material flows), on data analysis algorithms and actuators (digital control devices that can modify the material and immaterial features of physical space): the Internet of Things (IoT) that can achieve digital networks anchored in the physical world, namely networks similar to the Internet but existing on the physical plane, prone to multiple level implications such as housing and commerce that could in fact promote sustainability (just think of the Building Automation possibilities) integrated at a building and urban level. In the hypothetical future scenarios, envisioned by the authors, networks of sensors could enable the construction of intelligent buildings that can modify the specific configuration of the features of their interiors by obtaining information from the residents while creating dynamic spaces: "the area built in this way becomes a sort of a physically habitable Internet, a Hertzian space that is indissolubly connected to the digital devices1", in other words defining the idea of active building. The moment when environments dynamically react with man, using sensors and activation of specific feedback loops, adaptive digital systems could be employed for instance to control the production, demand and distribution of energy, deactivating or implementing such factors as response to specific needs and conducts of the user, till the point of optimizing the energy consumption of an entire city. The specific directions, trends and requirements of the users that could also be implemented within the industrial sector: for instance the digitally controlled additive procedures typical of the 3D printers, could promptly overturn the concept in which product replication allows to reduce production costs, nullifying the difference in cost of creating unique and "customized" products in relation to the specific needs of the users, or standardized products that are all alike, therefore leading the way to a mass personalization.
