Smart city and climate adaptation: A comparative analysis of Genoa and Copenhagen

Smart cities are considered the only urban development's pattern able to combine economic growth with the solution of some of the main problems provoked by urbanization, such as climate change. The paper analyzes both the evolution into smart cities and climate adaptation strategies in Genoa and Copenhagen, in which a process of urban neoliberalization is identified; the latter, passing through practices of policy transfer, engenders different "assemblages".
