Ano 1
Semestre S1
Créditos ECTS 6
Carga Horária OT(30H)/TP(30H)
Área Científica Arquitetura
Learning outcomes Goals: To study research methodologies oriented towards the analysis and development of solutions for e-cities/smart cities and a set of issues focused between IoT (internet of things) tools and cities.
Skills:
1. Understand the concepts associated with e-cities/smart cities;
2. Understand the main urban challenges that motivate the use of digital technologies in cities;
3. Master research methodologies applied to the urban context through the collection and processing of bibliographic and digital data from diverse sources (digital platforms or open data);
4. Understand the solutions and policies of e-cities/smart cities through critical thinking about technology and urban society.
Syllabus 1. CONCEITO DE e-CIDADE/CIDADE INTELIGENTE
a. Origens das e-cidades/cidades inteligentes na literatura científica
b. Evolução do conceito das e-cidades/cidade inteligente na literatura científica
2. REQUISITOS DAS E-CIDADES/CIDADES INTELIGENTES
a. As IoT na otimização das infraestruturas e serviços urbanos
b. Políticas da União Europeia para as e-cidades /cidades inteligentes
3. CASOS MARCANTES DE E-CIDADES/CIDADES INTELIGENTES
a. Europa: Barcelona, Copenhaga ou Amesterdão
b. Ásia: Singapura e Tokyo-Yokohama
c. América: Curitiba e Boston
Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria 1. Attendance/Written test (50%, 10 out of 20).
This will allow us to assess whether students have assimilated the material taught and obtained the defined competencies. The test will have a theoretical and a practical component on the course content and the requirements of e-cities/smart cities through the application of IoT developed in the classroom environment.
2. Practical work with oral presentation in the classroom environment and report (50%, 10 out of 20).
A practical assignment will be carried out, which concerns the analysis of a significant case of an e-city/smart city in Europe, Asia or America based on bibliographic research and scientific literature.
