| Abstract | The many challenges currently faced by cities around the world require the adoption of innovative strategies and actions. Among the various paradigms, many urban development processes have taken on board the paradigm of the Smart City, which is emerging strongly in the European context. Through the application of new technologies in different areas of the urban system, the paradigm aims to enhance quality of life and wellbeing of local communities and promote the creation of a more efficient, sustainable and competitive urban system. Furthermore, in Italy the major cities are also undergoing territorial and administrative reorganization, following approval of Law 56/2014 establishing the Metropolitan City as the governing authority of metropolitan areas. Research conducted on some of the Italian metropolitan areas has sought to ascertain whether and how the adoption of the Smart City paradigm could contribute to the constitution of metropolitan governance. Through a review of the scientific literature on the Smart City and territorial competitiveness and through the analysis of policies and initiatives implemented in some metropolitan areas, several relationships between the Smart City and territorial competitiveness have emerged. Above all, one of the cities that has invested more on increasing its own territorial competitiveness through the adoption of the Smart City paradigm is Florence. Hence this paper, after describing the relationships emerging from the scientific literature between Smart Cities and territorial competitiveness, examines the policies and measures adopted in Florence for the constitution of the Metropolitan City. |
