Smart Cities

Paul Doherty

Description

In a post-pandemic world, amid environmental crises, and advances in technology, the dynamics of what the average city looks like have called for change, leaving governments and policymakers to reimagine urban planning and development. In Smart Cities: Reimagining the Urban Experience, Paul Doherty shares his organization’s “secret sauce” recipe to marry information technology infrastructure—design thinking—with sustainable development goals (SDGs) for building smart cities. Paul dives into strategies, master plans, work templates, and real-world examples. This book will disrupt existing paradigms to offer practitioners, urban developers, and policymakers some solutions to creating greater social responsibility in a human-centric, data-driven world.

Introduction
W hen originally asked to write a book about smart cities more than a decade ago, I was hesitant to take on the task. I felt the smart cities market was maturing, as was my understanding of what this movement was and, more importantly, what it was not. Since that time, there have been many different books, articles, descriptions, smart cities “experts,” and self-appointed celebrities that have not stood the test of time. But as time has passed and the market has become more comfortable with the term smart cities —and the COVID-19 pandemic brought an increased awareness to the general public of their urban environments and their roles in them—I was approached again to write a book about smart cities. Feeling more comfortable and confident that I could at least describe and communicate smart cities from my own viewpoint since I have the experi­ence of actually doing the work, I agreed to do the best I can with this book.
I have been inspired, motivated, disillusioned, and confused, yet always curious regarding cities since I was a child born and growing up in New York City—Hollis and Queens, to be exact. My family moved out to Long Island where I grew up in the shadows of “the city.” I have always enjoyed the never-ending energy of New York along with its cuisine, art, fashion, tough business ethic, and beloved sports teams. To be clear, I am a die-hard New York Yankees, Giants, Knicks, and Islanders fan. I know this will result in a good portion of the New York readers closing this book immediately and rolling their eyes. Not to worry, I mention this as an example of the many woven elements that make up an urban fabric, and in this case, create an identity as a New Yorker. Our love of our New York sports teams begins to identify a fan, a neighborhood, a society, and a culture. Our love of cuisine brings many disparate people together into different neighborhoods to carry on traditions or try something new.
When Art Meets Science
Many New Yorkers also have a passion for the arts. The wonderful thing about growing up in New York is that you are absorbed into the arts whether you like it or not. All art is democratized from day one. From the never-ending exposure to all forms of great music, to easy access to the greatest museums in the world, to being able to experience the performing arts at an early age through school field trips, to the beauty of Broadway. Growing up in New York, art shaped me. Looking back at my youth, the mix of races, religions, cultures, viewpoints, and cultures was a blessing, as it exposed me to celebrating the differences between people and making friends with people based on who they are, not what they are. Growing up in East Meadow, New York (on Long Island), my neighborhood was a mix of Jewish, Italian, German, and Irish, like myself, and most of my friends were transplants from New York City, like myself. We brought the traditions, celebrations, and games from the city out to Long Island, and that provided a common experience among us kids. These common experiences came from the many neighborhoods that make New York City real. New York City is not some monolithic place that calls its inhabitants New Yorkers. Rather, you can identify people from The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and especially Manhattan, fairly quickly if you are from New York. To me, New York is a collection of neighborhoods with strong unique identities that over time create a woven urban fabric that is our common identity of being a New Yorker.
With this background, I began my journey of curiosity studying architecture and became a New York licensed architect in 1994. What I learned from doing my undergraduate architecture studies in New York City was how many of us focus on one building as a project when that project has ramifications for its neighboring buildings, the traffic, the people of the n
