The systematic combination of both approaches has great potential. To realise this potential, we argue that the following seven principles must be considered in urban research and practice: 1. Finding interfaces and delimitations, 2. Observe sufficiency, efficiency and consistency principles, 3. Identifying conflicts and discussing issues of justice, promoting participation and inclusion, 4. Promoting legitimacy and accountability, 5. Creating freedom and ensuring flexibility, 6. consider technical and social innovations and 7. Recognizing the relevance of open source and diversity in digitalization As the core element of the Seven Principles is transdisciplinary cooperation, the HTW Research Cluster Sustainable Smart Cities focuses on developing the HTW Campus as a Real-World Laboratory for future-proof cities.}, subject = {Smart City}, language = {en} }
