Il volume raccoglie i risultati del progetto di ricerca "Governance Analysis Project (GAP) per la Smart Energy City. L'attuazione delle Smart City nelle aree metropolitane in Europa e in Italia" svolto nell'ambito del PON "Smart Energy Master per il governo energetico del territorio" presso l'Università Federico II di Napoli (TeMa Lab del Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Edile e Ambientale). Il tema delle Smart Cities ha assunto negli ultimi anni una crescente rilevanza nel dibattito scientifico e nella prassi operativa nazionale ed internazionale configurandosi come una delle opportunità per ripensare le città e più in generale la vita delle comunità urbane. Le prime riflessioni, ricerche e progetti sul tema sembrano convergere verso l'idea che uno sviluppo urbano "intelligente" sia frutto non soltanto delle pur necessarie e imprescindibili dotazioni infrastrutturali (capitale fisico) e di una loro continua innovazione, ma anche della qualità del capitale umano, sociale e dell' ambiente naturale, intesi come fattori strategici per lo sviluppo. Una città «smart» è, prima di tutto, una città capace di soddisfare efficacemente i bisogni dei suoi cittadini nel rispetto delle regole imposte dal contesto ambientale. È in tale dibattito che si inquadra il progetto GAP la cui finalità è quella di affrontare il tema della Smart City alla luce della riorganizzazione amministrativa delle grandi città del nostro Paese promossa dalla L. 56/2014. Con un approccio di tipo scientifico, il volume restituisce un quadro completo ed aggiornato di come le città metropolitane italiane ed europee stanno declinando il tema della smart city e ciò grazie alla costruzione di un ampissimo screening rappresentato da oltre 1.000 iniziative tra ricerche, progetti, interventi, tecnologie, ecc .. Inoltre un elemento di originalità della ricerca è rappresentato dal fatto che ad un' analisi compiuta attraverso fonti indirette, è seguita una fase di confronto con gli "attori" (e di ciò si fornisce un'ampia illustrazione nel volume nel quale vengono, tra l' altro, riportati ampi stralci delle interviste effettuate). Ciò ha consentito di restituire un quadro più aderente al vero di quanto oggi si sta sperimentando nelle città italiane ed europee, al di là di facili entusiasmi per interventi e progetti etichettati come "smart", ma per i quali non sempre possono essere individuati contenuti e metodi innovativi.

Abstract
The volume contains the results of the research project "Governance Analysis Project (GAP) for the Smart Energy City. The actualization of Smart Cities in the Metropolitan Areas of Europe and Italy" conducted within the PON "Smart Energy Master for the energy management of the territory" at the University Federico II of Naples (TeMA Lab of the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering). Smart Cities have gained increasing relevance in the scientific debate and in the national and international operational practice, emerging as one of the opportunities to rethink cities and, more generally, the life of urban communities. First reflections, researches and projects on the issue seem to converge towards the idea that a "smart" urban development should not only be a result of the yet necessary and unavoidable infrastructural endowment (physical capital) and of its continuing innovation, but also of the quality of human, social and environmental capital, conceived as strategic factors for development. A "smart" city is, primarily, a city able to effectively satisfy the needs of its citizens respecting the rules imposed by the environmental context. It is in such a debate that the project GAP fits with the aim to address Smart Cities in light of the administrative reorganization of Italian large cities as a consequence of the Law 56/2014. With a scientific approach, the volume provides a comprehensive and updated framework of how Italian and European Metropolitan cities are declining the Smart City issue and this thanks to the collection of a wide-ranging screening represented by more than 1.000 initiatives including researches, projects, interventions, technologies, etc. Furthermore, one original element of this research is that after an analysis conducted through indirect sources, a phase of dialogue with "stakeholders" was carried out (and of this there is a wide picture in the volume in which, by the way, are reported long excerpts of the interviews).
