Current acceleration in digital practices, unexpected challenges in our social and spatial interactions, and sudden limitations in our physical spaces, mark unpredictable changes in our old normal. A different normal—as generated nowadays from the global pandemic 2020—is setting out, indeed, a mixed physical/virtual framework of the modification humanity is undertaking in being pushed into a new “digital age”; or better, as many scholars are saying, into the New Normal. A new normal in which the balance between physical and virtual interactions became in vantage of the second one in just one year, by increasing, at the same time, both the quantity and the quality of exchanging digital data. It is drafted a bi-dimensional enlarging that re-calls and stresses moreover the value of certain qualitative multi-data-based analyses aimed in reading the people’s common-sense to extrapolate wishes and needs within their daily lives; as the sentiment analysis applied to the urban planning processes wants to do. In synthesis, the bigger number of qualitative data coming from the web (from Socials mainly) became more affordable and more reliable (due to the new larger number of digital flows) in shaping new ways for a more effective public participation within the conventional planning process. In the pages of this article authors, through different but shared viewpoints, propose a possible answer to the topic of a new “Governance 3.0” addressing the attempt of a change of those consolidated paradigms within which the spatial dimension—in which we live and we act day by day—is shaped through planning processes consolidate over the years. Analyzing the relationship between Technocracy and Democracy, as defined by Khanna, it is argued that it is possible to realize new forecasts and to acquire a more democratic and participatory (inclusive) dimension of Governance, thanks to new digital technologies by exploring the general unconscious “feeling” of people, through anonymous data collection from Socials and similar platforms and without any direct or indirect interference with it. The Sentiment Analysis can “define automatic tools able to extract subjective information from texts in natural languages, such as opinions and sentiments, in order to create structured and actionable knowledge to be used by either a decision-support system or a decision-maker.

The urban space, its lighting, the environmental sustainability, the energy efficiency, the attention to public spending, the innovation and the optimization of public utility services, the light pollution, the energy and lighting upgrading of public lighting systems and – most importantly – the growth potential of urban living thanks to a new strategy for the cities of the future, the creation of efficient and effective smart cities: these are the themes that innervate the research whose results are presented in this article. These topics are very different from each other but share the urban space with the features of complexity and modernity. And it is on the city, on the urban space, that this study is directed on since, as De Seta writes “nowadays over half the global population lives in a city, and it is estimated that this percentage will rise to three quarters in 2050” [1]. The present research represents the evolution of what has been submitted by the authors for the AIDI conference “XIX Congresso Nazionale AIDI, La luce tra cultura e innovazione nell’era digitale” (The research work was submitted and accepted at the XIX National Conference of AIDI, 21−22 May 2020, Naples, Italy.).

This paper investigates the project for the city by looking at one of the latest trends in urban planning: “the smart city”. It starts with a general overview of the definitions of the term, explaining how the ascendance of information technologies and the associated focus on sustainability, as a response to globalization, urbanization and climate change, can generate effective territorial management planning strategies. Building on this objective, the authors review a smart city project within a consolidated and mature urban fabric in Italy, from three perspectives: territorial planning, technology, and social practices. The study consists of a detailed analysis of the contextual and typological configuration of the case and its surrounding area, narrating on the possible transformation of the territory. The results of the study lead the authors to argue that through this instance of enhanced reality, the potentialities for urban regeneration become apparent.

This article identifies methodologies for increasing the quality of life and acquiring a more democratic and participatory (inclusive) dimension in the new configuration of cities, in the case of smart cities. The analysis presents relevant strategies and implementation cases and investigates how ICT alter the meaning/ideas of “urban planning”, leading to an effective “governance”, of a citizen- center approach. Additional questions examine whether increasing the technological ‘networks’, allowing automation and monitoring are sufficient tools for cities’ regeneration or if matching technology with spatial participatory models that functionally insert the ‘right’ formal references in the urban planning is necessary. Public governance’s success is measured based on the “listening capacity” and the facilities that are provided to citizens. As such, the paper reviews the ability in managing existing complex interrelations between facilities and urban spaces. Finally, it retraces the historical arc aiming at analyzing and providing insights into the future.
