Digitisation in the smart city is an area of research at Linköping University. Digitisation of our cities is often held up as an important prerequisite for dealing with social challenges of increasing urbanization, climate change and globalization.
The research program will actively contribute to societal and behavior oriented perspectives in research and development of smart grids.
Aspects such as efficient use of resources and social interaction have been included in the planning of Vallastaden. Malin Granath, researcher in information systems, believes that it may eventually be possible to achieve economic sustainability.
The concept of “smart cities” is being used increasingly often within urban development. But this concept lacks a clear definition, and the way it is used depends on who is using it. These results are presented in a thesis by Malin Granath.
