Less than ten years ago, the promise of smart cities seemed endless and ripe with opportunity to improve citizen quality of life through application of technologies such as cameras and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors with a layer of artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline and optimize operations and outcomes. Since that time, the shine has worn off. Projects often do not go past the pilot stage, are application and context specific, are not implemented at scale, do not explicitly integrate community input during design, planning or operation, and largely consist of isolated platforms or systems of operation without integration. To address these issues, we will hold a workshop focusing on the significant technical, policy and socioeconomic challenges with respect to the integration and scalability of smart city technologies, approaches and/or deployments in real-world settings. Current barriers to integration and/or scaling of the above are likely also related to current policy/regulations, financing, and workforce gaps and as such, they will be considered to inform the research agenda. The workshop will discuss potential solutions to the scalability and integration challenges to help guide future NSF investments in smart cities deployments.The workshop will convene a series of online “listening sessions” with diverse stakeholders from around the United States, including rural, urban and suburban perspectives, to better inform our understanding of the aforementioned challenges. We will use these listening sessions to develop a set of research questions which will be refined in an in-person workshop where we will discuss potential solutions to the scalability and integration challenges (technical and non-technical) to help guide future NSF investments in smart cities deployments. This workshop will foster convergence by engaging participants from academia, government, non-profits, community advocacy, private property owners, civic agencies, and industry, across a range of smart city applications relative to different infrastructure systems. For each of these application areas (such as energy, transportation, water, etc.), we will bring together expertise from engineering, public policy, computer science, and social and decision science, as well as direct input from community leaders and partners. The main intellectual merit of this workshop will be the development of a summary report outlining a multi-disciplinary research agenda (gaps, questions, and proposed research tasks) to overcome the scalability and integration challenges identified throughout the multi-stakeholder discussions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

不到十年前，智慧城市的前景似乎无穷无尽，并且有机会通过应用摄像头和物联网（IoT）传感器等技术来提高公民的生活质量，并通过人工智能（AI）层来简化和优化运营和结果。从那时起，光泽就消失了。项目往往没有经过试验阶段，是具体的应用和背景，没有大规模实施，在设计，规划或运营期间没有明确纳入社区投入，并且在很大程度上由孤立的平台或没有整合的运营系统组成。为了解决这些问题，我们将举办一个研讨会，重点讨论在现实环境中智慧城市技术、方法和/或部署的整合和可扩展性方面的重大技术、政策和社会经济挑战。目前对上述整合和/或扩展的障碍也可能与当前的政策/法规、融资和劳动力缺口有关，因此，将考虑为研究议程提供信息。研讨会将讨论可扩展性和集成挑战的潜在解决方案，以帮助指导未来NSF在智慧城市部署方面的投资。研讨会将与来自美国各地的不同利益相关者（包括农村、城市和郊区）举行一系列在线“倾听会议”，以更好地了解上述挑战。我们将利用这些倾听会议来开发一系列研究问题，这些问题将在面对面的研讨会上进行完善，我们将讨论可扩展性和集成挑战（技术和非技术）的潜在解决方案，以帮助指导未来NSF在智能城市部署方面的投资。本次研讨会将通过吸引来自学术界、政府、非营利组织、社区宣传、私人业主、民间机构和工业界的参与者，在一系列与不同基础设施系统相关的智慧城市应用中促进融合。对于这些应用领域中的每一个（例如能源、运输、水等），我们将汇集来自工程，公共政策，计算机科学，社会和决策科学的专业知识，以及社区领导人和合作伙伴的直接投入。这次讲习班的主要学术价值将是编写一份概述多学科研究议程的摘要报告（差距，问题，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
