Abstract

The concept of "smart city" has become today the horizon toward which to strive for the creation of environments based on ecological, economic and social sustainability. The need for adequate human and intellectual capital, which can increase the efficiency and awareness of the "smart city" project, requires a reflection on educational methods that stimulate creativity and adaptation. A continuously planning society can use information and communication networks creating concrete synergies between citizens and public administration in resource management, problem solving and improving public service operating conditions. The risk of failing to prepare people for this new model of participation, leaving room for incompetence and management imbalance, is closely related to the same growth opportunities offered by the new communication and information technologies. A dialogic education that stimulates communicative exchange is the foundation and key to future social and economic projects, based on democratic participation, ethical behavior and social awareness.
