FROM THE SMART CITY TO THE INNOVATIVE TERRITORY, TOWARD THE TERRITORIAL INTELLIGENCE: THEORETICAL APPROACHES AND PROSPECTIONS ABOUT THE SUBJECT

Abstract

The theoretical debate about innovation and its relation with the development, generally focused in the urban space have resulted in different approaches about smart cities. These are liable of criticism, like the fact of non-replicable prerogatives, the excessive emphasis to the argument of urban development be promoted by private businesses in coalition with the government and society, or the fact of the need of inclusive and participative experiences. The approach about innovative or smart territory allows to advance theoretically, giving opportunity to social interaction for the decision-making and the appreciation and territorial appropriation of knowledge. Complementary, the theoretical approaches about territorial intelligence are presented as an innovative way of understanding the territorial, productive and social processes, by integrating actors and their expectations, vision and initiative, aiming to territorial development. It is about these theoretical questions that is proposed to reflect, by the access to recent publishing, with the purpose of instigating accessions toward the effectiveness of a territorial intelligence.
