| Abstract | On the background of globalization and climate change discussions about urban development are not only concentrating on socio-economic restructuring and economic positioning but also on issues of emissions and energy efficient development. As such trends are in particular affecting urban development - very often accompanied with relative strong growth - attention is focusing on the the question how cities might meet challenges of improved quality of life and sustainable development, but also of improved urban competitiveness in an interregional and even global context. Due to these trends and challenges the idea of a Smart City concept emerged and has been widely discussed. However, looking on this discussion (and respective strategic efforts) one can easily detect the different understandings which are more or less directly related to the question 'How can cities use and implement technical innovations in the urban fabric?' Besides, corresponding programs of the EU or of national funds (like in Austria) are supporting projects aiming at the transformation of energy provision and reduction of emissions. Facing these trends the contribution will give an overview about the understanding of the smart city idea and the differences across specific approaches. Based on this overview chances and risks regarding energy efficient urban developments are worked out. Finally, the presentation will conclude with specific suggestions of the understanding and respective recommendations for strategic planning. |
