Smart Cities in a Smart World

open access: yes, 2015
Very often the concept of smart city is strongly related to the flourishing of mobile applications, stressing the technological aspects and a top-down approach of high-tech centralized control systems capable of resolving all the urban issues, completely forgetting the essence of a city with its connected problems.

Stress Transfer Within Microphase‐Separated Structures: A Post‐Synthetic Strategy to Impart Mechanoresponsiveness to Block Copolymer Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A domain‐engineered post‐functionalization strategy is presented to impart mechanochromism to styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) block copolymers by simple blending with a tetraarylsuccinonitrile (TASN) mechanophore‐containing polystyrene (PS‐TASN‐PS). The resulting materials exhibit reversible fluorescence under tensile deformation while preserving, or ...

SMART CITIES, SMART TOURISM? THE CASE OF THE CITY OF PORTO

open access: yesRevista Galega de Economía, 2017
The so-called Smart Cities have been playing an important role in the academic literatureas well as in the agenda of public policies. With the forward thinking of “creating” newurban development models, the cities intend to strategically positioning themselves and atthe same time develop cooperation networks.
