A study published in the Open Access journal Smart Cities highlights how personal, social, and environmental factors affect an individuals’ ability to navigate and benefit from smart-city societies.

The study, cited by ABC News, discusses ways to create more inclusive and climate friendly urban environments, importantly considering the marginalized communities that face digital exclusion.

It provides a novel application of Amartya Sen’s capability approach to understand digital divides in smart-city societies. The study argues for reforms that prioritize capability-enhancing institutions, citizen empowerment, and leveraging knowledge to improve accessibility and sustainability in future smart cities.

COVER STORY: Bicycle safety remains a critical concern as cycling gains popularity, especially in urban areas where traffic conditions pose significant risks. The increasing presence of bicycles and derivatives of them further complicates traffic dynamics, raising the potential for accidents and injuries. This study by Polish researchers examines bicycle accident trends in Poland from 2016 to 2023 using data provided by the Polish Police, supplemented with medical insights on injury mechanisms.

The analysis highlights key patterns, such as the higher incidence of accidents during summer, fewer accidents on weekends compared to weekdays, and the disproportionate fatality rate among cyclists over 60. Failure to yield the right of way emerges as a leading cause of accidents.
