Smart Society: A Sociological Perspective on Smart Living: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Smart Society: A Sociological Perspective on Smart Living" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Increasingly, we hear of smart cities, communities, governance and people as constituting the basis of initiatives by which we might address various social and environmental problems, particularly those connected with sustainability, usually by means of an intelligent connection with the network society. This book addresses the issues raised by the emergence of smart dimensions and initiatives in society, critically engaging with questions surrounding the feasibility of what smart initiatives propose and the extent to which they can really offer solutions to the challenges we face. With attention to the notion of smart as applied to the individual, the community, politics and the home, the authors consider the interconnections between these various facets of smart living and their relationship to the notion of the smart society as a whole. Drawing on a concrete study of an attempt to concretize smart ideas in the design of a smart, solar home as part of an international project, Smart Society offers the first extended sociological engagement with the notion of smart living.

Around and within the smart world
By virtue of a certain information redundancy, the adjective smart is now monopolizing the scientific literature in every disciplinary field: from engineering to economics and political science, from sociology to urban planning. Even the pages of the newspapers use the term smart at least as frequently as the academic congresses. The conversations between scientists as well as between journalists, between politicians and between citizens, between consumers and between producers find in this adjective one of the most used and abused words. The translations of the term are often varied, its interpretations disparate and its meanings polysemic.
The city is certainly the most natural habitat of the smart world and the literature on smartness is dominated by the smart city (Aa.Vv. 2014; Marciano 2015), to the point that almost all theoretical insights focus on this meaning (De Luca 2012) and on the relative distinctions. This is the case of the city of networks (or net city), of the open city, of the sentient city, of the participatory city (or wiki city), of the neo-bohemian city (or creative city) and, again, the resilient city, the 2.0 city, and finally the city as a platform (or cloud city) (Dominici 2012).
Beyond or next to the city, according to the most consolidated literature on the subject (Amitrano and Bifulco 2016), it is possible to trace at least six declinations of smartness:
- smart economy
- smart people
- smart governance
- smart mobility
- smart environment
- smart living
In economics (Balaceanu et al. 2017), the word smart refers to more dynamic and competitive, innovative and entrepreneurial activities.
Smart people (Barrett 2017; Bates and Gupta 2017; Gurashi 2018; Kar et al. 2017) are instead the expression of citizens who are creative and flexible, but also professionally qualified and open to forms of participation and social integration.
The political participation of citizens in the decision-making process is instead the distinctive element of smart governance (Vinod Kumar 2015; Willke 2007), where the participation in the creation of public services contributes to making governance more transparent and democratic.
The smart mobility (European Environment Agency 2016) refers, instead, to the transport system, to the national and international accessibility of mobility and to the possibility of making it innovative and safe.
Finally, the smart environment (European Environment Agency 2017; Urban Land Institute 1998) refers to a sustainable management of natural resources and to the preservation and protection of the green areas of a city. Smart Community (DAloisi et al. 2013; Manfredi 2015; Rizzi 2014; Urban Land Institute 1998), smart land (Bonomi and Masiero 2014), smart home (Balta-Ozkan et al. 2013; Briere 2003; Capolla 2011; Gurashi et al. 2019; Harper 2003; Saul-Rinaldi et al. 2014; Sessa 2018) and smart working (Corso et al. 2016; Lake 2013) complete, then, the framework of the possible variations of the concept. But what is the common denominator of all these smart worlds?
