The platforms facilitate operations in the fields of strategic intelligence, technology dissemination, new product development, and product promotion. These are fundamental innovation processes based on the skills of the population of the cities, the institutions involved in ...

The introductory part conducts a systematic literature review regarding the evolution of the “Knowledge Cities” term, since the beginning of the millennium. The second part of the paper explores the case of “Digital Thermi”, a digital city platform for the medium-sized city of Thermi in Greece. The platform, besides representing the digital aspect of the city, encompasses specific population groups (citizens, entrepreneurs, public administration), providing user-driven, targeted e-services. The final and conclusive part of the paper examines the integration of digital services within the urban spatiality, based on the outcomes of the Digital Thermi project, and how this process can support the development of knowledge and innovation-led cities.

Thessaloniki is a medium-sized city that constitutes an interesting field for investigation regarding the development of the cultural and creative economy. It is a post-industrial city that has seen a large part of its productive fabric, both in the form of building stock and human resources, remain inactive. The gap formed by the decline of manufacturing and trade, has in turn been bridged by leisure industry businesses. However, this model is in question regarding its sustainability. The purpose of this research is to detect and highlight prospects for urban sustainable development in the context of the global economic crisis with creative economy as the main tool.

Οι "ευφυείς" πόλεις αποτελούν ένα νεωτερικό πεδίο έρευνας και εφαρμογών, το οποίο φέρνει σε επαφή τρεις επιστημονικούς τομείς: Τεχνολογία – Γνώση - Αστική ανάπτυξη. Η παρούσα εισήγηση διερευνά το ευρύτερο κοινωνικοοικονομικό πλαίσιο ανάπτυξης τους, προσδιορίζει τη θέση τους στο ευρύτερο σύστημα εργαλείων του branding τόπου, και καταγράφει γνωστά brands στο χώρο αυτό. Ο ανταγωνισμός για καινοτόμες εφαρμογές ευφυών πόλεων, οι οποίες θα συνοδεύονται από το "περιτύλιγμα" του πιο φανταχτερού brand, είναι εξαιρετικά μεγάλος, εξαιτίας της πολλά υποσχόμενης αγοράς που κρύβεται πίσω από αυτές: εκτιμάται πως έως το 2020 οι παγκόσμιες επενδύσεις σε υποδομές έξυπνων πόλεων θα αγγίξουν τα 108 δισ. δολάρια. Τα συμπεράσματα που προκύπτουν είναι διφορούμενα: κανένα brand δεν έχει διασφαλισμένη επιτυχία, καθώς οι ισορροπίες είναι λεπτές. Αδιαμφισβήτητα όμως, πρόκειται για ένα πεδίο που γεννά πολλά ερωτήματα σχετικά με τη χρήση των τεχνικών μάρκετινγκ στην προώθηση της αστικής ανάπτυξης.

SOS CLIMATE WATERFRONTS - THESSALONIKI FALL 2019, 2022

The comprehensive urban ecosystem approach, face certain urban areas, such as urban waterfronts, as valuable natural resources interrelated to the entire urban environment, aiming to provide strategic solutions for enhancement of integrated ecosystem services. This paper argues that we should consider ecosystem functions within the city as dynamic, hybrid, and living ecosystems lying between the city and the nature. This approach provides new key aspects for policymakers and planners, particularly as urban sustainability, resilience, and environmental crisis, increasingly reshape cities and elevate consideration of these topics.
The paper highlights the economic contributions of Thermaikos Gulf ecosystem goods and services to the city’s welfare and recommends actions and investments required to ensure that they are valued and integrated into metropolitan policy decision-making.
