BERRA, Mariella. From the Digital to the Inclusive City: The Construction of Socio-technical Capital. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2013, vol.28, n.79, pp.7-49. ISSN 2007-8358.

Through two research experiences linked to the Piamonte region and Mexico City, this article attempts to highlight how the distribution of latest-generation information and communications technologies (ICTS) constitute a necessary -albeit insufficient- condition for smart development. What are more important are organization and the aggregation model adopted by different subjects operating in the territorial contexts. This cooperative process makes it possible to amass the socio-technical capital that is the basis for building a real smart city that is both digital and inclusive.

Palabras llave : digital city; smart city; inclusive city; new technologies; ICT; GI Di infrastructures; cooperation; participation; public policies; socio-technical capital.
