However, it is notoriously difficult guide activate processes complex adaptive systems such as cities. Participatory scenario planning with city professionals members civil society provides an opportunity ...

The set of 5G requirements show that future radio systems should answer to network capabilities in terms of : capacity, spectrum for future evolutions, fixed-mobile convergence, integration of 3GPP and and robustness, cost efficiency, etc. In parallel, new user experiences area, from static to high-speed-throughput per user/ application, E2E to the need of new enablers for business as: Internet...

Urbanisation is increasing the risk of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and malaria in cities, with resulting impacts on health development. At same time, cities worldwide are building investing urban resilience. It not known to what extent how considering their resilience strategies. This research uses a multi-site case study methodology, focused Resilient Cities Network member Chennai (...

Based on panel data of 282 cities in China from 2005 to 2019, this paper constructs an economic resilience evaluation index system three dimensions and applies the entropy value method measure it. The two-stage nested Thiel index, kernel density estimation geographic detector methods are also used explore characteristics their spatial temporal divergence driving factors. We find that Chinese ha...

Cloud computing (CC) is a promising information and communication technologies (ICT) services delivery model that has already had a significant impact on Government agencies, small and medium enterprises and large organisations. Even though its adoption is moving from the early stage to mainstream, many organisations are still afraid that their resilience might deteriorate because of the additi...

Cities are emerging as leading forces for climate change adaptation and resilience. Many approaches tools have been developed used to measure resilience in cities. In this study, we explore if how such can be or support decision-making building urban We applied a deep analysis of 27 measuring supplemented it with semi-structured interviews experts who implemented over 100 cities around the worl...
