Abstract
Smart urban futures are currently being tested and promoted in Europe usinginnovativeandintelligenturbantechnologiesatdifferentspatial scales, in individual sectors such as energy or transport, or by using specific technological innovations. However, the great transformation, though often called for and widely advocated, is yet to come. This pa- per discusses the necessity of promoting integrative approaches that go beyond technology-centered solutions with the aim of opening up paths towards urban climate neutrality: Precisely because urban fu- tures are hardly predictable due to diverse and partly still hidden in- fluencing factors, it is important to include especially socio-cultural in- novations, as well as resilient technical solutions. The considerations developed in this regard conclude with a presentation of the contribu- tions in this TATuP special topic.
