Накратко на български
Взаимодействието между градската инфраструктура, цифровите технологии и климатичните промени се анализира чрез времевите ритми на градското развитие. Това помага за по-доброто разбиране на процесите по прехода към устойчиви и „умни“ градове в международен мащаб.

Infrastructuring Time in Smart Urbanism and Urban Transitions
From 2020 to 2023, the INFRATIME Marie Skłodowska Curie Global Fellowship (GA n. 892522) undertook a 3 years research and training journey across Italy, Japan and Scandinavia. The project studied how temporalities of urban transformations and networked urban infrastructure interfere and interact with the new climatic regime. INFRATIME explored the tensions between the urgent climate change agenda (CCA), the testing of sustainable urban futures and the actual ICT infrastructure already in place for urban management. In so doing, INFRATIME developed a time-based approach to understand the entangled temporality and rhythm of urban sustainable transitions (UST) and smart urbanism (SU). Since the relevance of time for social life has been addressed in social theory, geography and urban studies, the debate has been widely growing in relation to technology and digitalisation of society. Emphasis has been given to the role of speed, acceleration, and anticipation as featuring our modern timescapes, with an increasing (yet limited, especially towards technology aspects) attention to sustainability issues. INFRATIME has four specific objectives: - To achieve knowledge and produce detailed accounts on how CCA, SU&UST are temporally enacted by the interplay of experimental urbanism, data infrastructures, and organizational processes, in transnational settings (WP1). - To innovate theoretically and methodologically by offering a transdisciplinary approach to study and understand the socio-technical production of time on multiple urban scales (WP2); - To advance the research field on SU&UST with an original time-based contribution (WP2); - To disseminate INFRATIME research results impact policy-making on SU&UST at the European and international level (WP3). In so doing, the project contributed to better re-temporalize urban transformations to the climate change agenda. The partnership between the University of Bologna (IT) as Beneficiary and the University of Tokyo (JP) as Third Country Organisation, including the planned inter-sectoral secondment in NORDREGIO (SE), offered an ideal platform to achieve the research objectives.

Цел на проекта
The agenda set by climate change is urgent and accelerating, and cities are at the forefront to respond to climate change effects, to harness the resources for sustainable transitions and to adopt long-term policies and strategies for viable urban futures by 2030-2050. At the same time, existing networked data infrastructures allow the everyday management of cities (e.g. mobility, energy, water) and also interact with the efforts to achieve the climate targets. Yet, most recent scientific evidence shows that the sustainability efforts are jeopardised by existing infrastructures and a further effort is needed already by 2030 to stop irreversible damage from climate change. Subsequently, cities need to revise their climate plans, anticipating their actions and aligning their sustainability goals to the new scenarios. The tensions between the urgent agenda of climate change, the testing of sustainable urban futures and the actual ICT infrastructures already in place for urban management produce multiple temporal interferences that influence the paths towards sustainability. Through INFRATIME, I will develop an innovative approach to understand the combined temporality and rhythm of urban transitions and smart urbanism. In so doing, I intend to offer relevant insights to better re-temporalize urban transformations to the climate change agenda. The partnership between the University of Bologna (IT) as Beneficiary and the University of Tokyo (JP) as Third Country organisation, including the planned inter-sectoral secondment in Nordregio (SE), will offer the ideal platform to pursue the research objectives. The Fellowship will thus ensure international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary training and supervision at the highest standards, allowing me to deliver scientific excellence, to increase my employability across academic and non-academic sectors in a European and global context, and ultimately achieve a leading position in the field of sustainable smart urbanism.
