| Abstract |
Smart city planning has become a popular concept in a time of increasing urbanization and its accompanying challenges, particularly in the face of climate change. Critiques say it is too generic to prove more useful beyond utilization as a buzzword in political discourse. Smart planning requires a cross-disciplinary and adaptable effort that combines and optimizes the range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies available to identify opportunities and actionable solutions while acknowledging the challenges and shortcomings of a given approach. In this paper, this theory of smart planning is applied to the case of Philadelphia, where a multi-perspective lens - specifically, from the viewpoints of mobility and quality of life - is used to develop an integrated and adaptive evaluation of the needs of the city along with practical solutions for implementation. We show that integrating interdisciplinary resources and perspectives can uncover alternative solutions which enrich planning development. |
