Design and Sustainable Development for Knowledge based City

Achieving smartness is not only engaged by having knowledge, collecting knowledge, shearing knowledge but also by applying knowledge in the right time and the right place. The context of our work in Knowledge Based City (KBC) is to take data, which has the potential for insights, discover and annotate relations between data, representing information, and gaining an understanding about the context and application of information and turn it into knowledge. Continuously applying Knowledge Based System and knowledge management in new fields – especially in the context of Urban Planning and Smart Cities - will finally enable to reach an improved and high quality society, which is human focused and highly integrated to provide the right information and knowledge, contextualized and on time for public sectors (e.g. in a Smart City context - air and water quality, traffic analysis, resource management, social society, and prediction of disaster, etc.). Organizational units like cities are more complex than before, local municipalities, and districts, people driven organizations are continuously facing huge volumes of data, collected from information management systems as geo-information systems, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, tracking the interactions within the city in real-time, which only can be managed and utilized by applying Big Data methods. A conceptual strategy of KBC will here enable to foster new, human focused solutions, utilizing the continues flow of information. Knowledge aware, knowledge managed cities and their technological vision, the Smart City are more integrated, smarter and participatory – involving and informing the citizens and rendering the city planning process a smart, managed, knowledge-intense and integrative task. To foster the potential of the interaction and transition from a smart to a knowledge-based city we follow a vision of grand visions and small steps integrating the lessons learned from Knowledge based technology and Knowledge Management into the urban planning context, where we continuously follow sustainable planning, combining systems with smart algorithmic solutions and knowledge management integration.
