Abstract
El concepto Smart City nace de la necesidad de aplicar tecnología en procesos urbanos de planificación y toma de decisiones relativos a las áreas de sostenibilidad y movilidad.
Aunque incialmente el término surge desde el ámbito de las compañías privadas de tecnologías de la información, desdel el mundo académico y la gestión pública (arquitectos, urbanistas y ejecutivos de gestión pública) lo usan de manera creciente para tener una visión integral del territorio donde la toma de decisiones se basa cada vez más en el uso de Big Data con el fin último de alcanzar la eficiencia.
Esta visión del territorio se calibra en seis dimensiones: economía, movilidad urbana, medio ambiente, gobernanza, calidad de vida y capital humano.
Las bibliotecas públicas de las ciudades tienen ante sí la posibilidad de ser nodos esenciales de esta visión de la ciudad a razón de su trayectoria y misión. Estos equipamientos que, interconectados entre sí e interrelacionados con otros servicios públicos, fortalecen no solo el nivel calidad de vida de las comunidades sino las capacidades de los individuos en la transformación digital de la sociedad.
The concept of Smart City arises from the need to apply technology in urban processes, both for sustainability and for mobility. Although initially the term was born in IT private companies, from the academic field and public management professional (architects, urban planners and commands) are using it increasingly just to have an integral vision of the territory where the decision making is based on the use of Big Data to achieve the ultimate goal of efficiency. It is an integral vision of the territory that consists of six dimensions: smart economy (intelligent and sustainable), smart mobility, smart environment (natural resources), smart governance (participation), smart people (social and human capital) and smart living (quality of life). Libraries have the opportunity to be leading nodes in this vision because, according to their trajectory and their mission, they respond to strengthening the quality of life of communities, participation as well as improving the capacities of individuals in the digital transformation of society.
