La città intelligente come forma evolutiva della città contemporanea

This article aims to examine, from a legal perspective, what has become the largely dominant framework for collective existence and public action in our societies: urban communities. In particular, it will examine the process of transforming urban communities into smart cities, that is intelligent and modern cities that progressively modify their functioning based on data and numbers. It is undeniable that large-scale digitalization, combined with several converging trends, is profoundly transforming collective life. In this context, cities – especially “smart” ones – represent a fundamental laboratory for this transformation.
