Aplikace zásad smart cities a zelené infrastruktury pro Vítězné náměstí v Praze

Abstract

The impact that climate change has left on communities around the world have ranged from minimal to extreme. Countless catastrophic events lead the way to resilient designs with respect to architecture, energy consumption, building, life style, and resource conservation habits that provide environmental, social, and economic improvements. Smart cities is an idea of designing to increase quality of life and sustainability with the help of technology. Necessity for change inspired countless innovative projects in the sustainability field to design resilient infrastructure. This research will develop a method of Green Infrastructure (GI) implementation in a Smart Cities project for the city of Prague in the Czech Republic. GI offers many benefits such as increasing property value, promoting walkability, decreasing Heat Island Effect, managing and treating storm water, and improving air quality which certify it for one of the best sustainable projects. An initial literature review is conducted to understand the details of existing GI in Prague. Then, a modelling software, used for old or new GI sites, can determine the beneficial impacts of GI on a small scale. Using Information and Communication Technology (ICT), such as sensors, improves the functionality of GI by aiding in decision making and obtaining on site information. Furthermore, this data is useful to city planners or officials to determine what kind of GI benefits better suit the local environment and/or the community's needs.
