The future of disruptive cities requires smart regulation that adapts to the new urban reality.
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:
- To mobility and coexistence between different types of transport.
- To the need to combine the identification of citizens and their right to privacy.
- The right of citizens to access public services.
- 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.
