Smart regulation for disruptive cities

Regulation must adapt to the new reality of cities and promote a New Governance in disruptive cities, three-dimensional (in the axes of Sustainability, Resilience and Inclusion), as explained in the following video, our expert Paola Subacchi:

As Paola also tells us, it must be coordinated at its four levels (local, regional, national and international) to really work.

According to Natalia de Estevan-Úbeda, “we must think of regulation as a tool to facilitate the implementation of technology, and not the other way around“.

The regulation must be adapted to several issues inside disruptive cities:

1. To mobility and coexistence between different types of transport.
2. To the need to combine the identification of citizens and their right to privacy.
3. The right of citizens to access public services.
4. To the new forms of access to health and wellness services.

In the specific case of mobility, new private actors have emerged, without a public license because the services they offer a priori do not require them, which are having a great impact on what happens in cities.
