Abstract

In this chapter, the issues of sharing of information and of information technologies use are dealt with from the juridical point of view, through a discussion about some general problems characterizing the relevant juridical debate. Then the urban forms and functions of the smart city are presented. Information technology can interact with the operational problems of the city and the use of environmental resources (energy, soil, water) is the leading parameter with which the urban and building transformations must be carried out. In this chapter, the complex issue of how to share the urban spaces and functions and to what extent such sharing influences the energy consumption is dealt with.
