Above all, the book focuses on smartening up small and medium-sized cities and insular communities, taking into account their geographical peculiarities, the pattern of MED urban settlements and the abundance of island complexes in the MED Basin. Taking for granted that sustainability in the MED is the overarching policy goal that needs to be served, the book explores different aspects of smartness in support of this goal?s achievement. In this respect, evidence from concrete smart developments adopted by forerunners in the MED region is collected and analyzed; coupled with experiences gathered from successful, non-MED, examples of smart efforts in European countries. More specifically, current research and empirical results from MED urban environments are discussed, as well as findings from or concerning other parts of the world, which are of relevance to the MED region. The book?s primary goal is to enable policymakers, planners and decision-making bodies to recognize the challenges and options available; and make to more informed policy decisions towards smart, sustainable, inclusive and resilient urban and regional futures in the MED. 410 0$aProgress in IS,$x2196-8713 606 $aBusiness information services 606 $aApplication software 606 $aGeographic information systems 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aSustainability 606 $aIT in Business 606 $aComputer and Information Systems Applications 606 $aGeographical Information System 606 $aUrban Economics 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aSustainability 615 0$aBusiness information services. 615 0$aApplication software. 615 0$aGeographic information systems. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 14$aIT in Business. 615 24$aComputer and Information Systems Applications. 615 24$aGeographical Information System. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aSustainability. 676 $a307.76091822 686 $a16.20.24$2EP-CLASS 702 $aStratigea$b Anastasia$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKavroudakis$b Dimitris$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337815603321 996 $aMediterranean Cities and Island Communities$92232932 997 $aUNINA
