Los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio (ODM) adoptados por los estados miembros de la ONU en el año 2000 se han centrado con éxito la atención y acción mundial para poner fin a la pobreza extrema en todas sus formas. El período de los ODM se completará a finales de 2015. En estos años la urbanización y el uso de la tecnología para favorecer la interacción entre ciudadanos y ciudades se ha convertido en la tendencia del presente y en las líneas de desarrrollo para definir en las próximas décadas. El Congreso Cities for All analiza la interacción del ciudadano con la ciudad a través de la tecnología para hacer de los espacios urbanos una experiencia más sencilla y auténtica. Rutas y servicios urbanos pioneros en el mundo gracias a las prácticas de geolocalización, mobile learning o realidad aumentada se dan cita en Hyderabad del 7 al 10 de octubre.

With a new government in Delhi, India’s urban agenda is now focused on the creation of “Smart Cities” in industrial corridors. Such an initiative is driven by the demand of foreign investors to find sanitized spaces in developing countries in which they can operate easily – unhampered by politics. ... Via Rob Kitchin

The very idea of Smart Cities seems to be based on the assumption that there are technocratic solutions for the routine problems that citizen face. Technology is heralded as the “apolitical” means by which governance can be fixed and saved from the operation of “politics”. Problems of inefficiency that are seen to dominate the old bureaucratic-political order are hence given a “smart” solution by employing “Big Data”. However such a vision does not take into consideration the fallibility of technology or the fact that the technology-centric governance that Smart Cities promote can further exclude the people at the margins of power. What is driving the Smart City agenda is the need for foreign capital to enter into new territories in the developing world by avoiding some of the regulatory hurdles it otherwise faces. To ease the entry of large foreign investments into such projects, the government provides for a single-window clearance system. Also, many of the proposed Smart Cities are either designated as Special Economic Zones (SEZs) or will house SEZs in them. SEZs are geographical enclaves which have many exemptions from the regular tax laws, customs and excise duties and labour laws.
