The research group ´Future Smart Towns´ investigates how mid-sized cities, i.e. towns, meet the challenges of digitalisation and develops digital instruments to strengthen their liveability. The project focuses on the four central structural areas of a town: civil society & social services, administration & politics, economy & energy, and, finally, education & culture. The digital transformation as an ever-increasing networking of information and processes offers enormous potential for all areas of life and work. Many of today’s most pressing problems can be addressed through digitalisation, e.g. through the more sustainable use of existing resources. At the same time, however, digitalisation also poses major challenges for actors, especially if, for example, financial or material resources to implement digitalisation projects in a sustainable way are lacking. In this context, current research often discusses the transformation of cities, mostly metropolitan areas, through digitalisation, referred to as 'Smart Cities'. Proposed concepts are often based on the given, very narrow local structures, large administrations, and the associated large pool of resources. However, towns outside of metropolitan regions, which have similar structural problems as large cities, but at the same time have specific characteristics that prevent a one-to-one transfer of smart city concepts, are out of sight. As a rule, medium-sized cities have 20,000 to 100,000 inhabitants, and it is precisely in rural areas, where there is an increasing number of cities of this type, that they have an important social, political and economic significance as a centre for even smaller towns and communities in the surrounding area. Towns therefore have a special identity which often leads to a particularly strong identification with the town and region for their inhabitants. However, these towns and cities are most severely affected by demographic and economic changes. Questions of mobility, demographic change in terms of the development of living and housing, economic development and attractive conditions for highly qualified specialists or the comprehensive range of educational and cultural offers pose particular challenges to towns. These challenges become even greater when these towns are characterised by different districts, each of which - to a certain extent - must be developed and supported individually. The research group analyses specific challenges of towns and develops instruments with which these can be met, so that Digital Towns can be developed that preserve the identity of and identification with the town and region. Towns, because of their size and medium complexity, are best suitable for our investigations and developments as experimental fields and ´real labs´. Manifold content and methodology interdependencies across the eight subprojects and the use of the ´capability approach´ (according to Sen) strengthen the coherence of the research group.

“未来智能城镇”研究小组调查了中型城市（即城镇）如何应对数字化的挑战，并开发数字工具来增强其宜居性。该项目侧重于一个城镇的四个核心结构领域：公民社会和社会服务，行政和政治，经济和能源，以及教育和文化。数字化转型作为信息和流程不断增长的网络化，为生活和工作的各个领域提供了巨大的潜力。当今许多最紧迫的问题可以通过数字化来解决，例如通过更可持续地利用现有资源。然而，与此同时，数字化也给参与者带来了重大挑战，特别是如果缺乏以可持续方式实施数字化项目的财政或物质资源。在这种背景下，目前的研究经常讨论城市的转型，主要是大都市地区，通过数字化，被称为“智能城市”。所提出的概念往往是基于特定的、非常狭窄的地方结构、庞大的行政机构和相关的大量资源。然而，大都市地区以外的城镇，与大城市有着类似的结构性问题，但同时又有着阻止智慧城市概念一对一转移的特定特征，是看不到的。一般来说，中等城市的居民人数在20，000至100，000人之间，正是在农村地区，这种城市的数量越来越多，它们作为周围地区甚至更小的城镇和社区的中心，具有重要的社会、政治和经济意义。因此，城镇有一种特殊的身份，这往往导致其居民对城镇和地区的特别强烈的认同。然而，这些城镇受人口和经济变化的影响最严重。流动性问题、生活和住房发展方面的人口变化、经济发展和对高素质专家的吸引力条件或全面的教育和文化服务对城镇构成了特别的挑战。当这些城镇以不同的地区为特征时，这些挑战变得更大，每个地区在一定程度上都必须单独发展和支持。该研究小组分析了城镇的具体挑战，并开发了可以满足这些挑战的工具，以便开发数字城镇，保留城镇和地区的身份和身份。城镇由于其规模和中等复杂性，最适合我们作为实验田和“真实的实验室”进行调查和发展。八个子项目的内容和方法的多样性相互依赖性以及“能力方法”的使用（根据Sen的说法）加强了研究小组的一致性。
