For the future of urban systems, it will be essential to control the transformation processes through the correct use of available energy, environmental and economic resources, etc. This control must result in the development of new methods, procedures, and actions capable of mitigating the production of anthropic entropy within the city. The city functions as a dynamic and complex system, it changes in space and time, activating transformation processes that can be traced back to the interactions between urban subsystems, induced by both endogenous and exogenous causes that pass in their effects and systemic repercussions. The wrong reality, finally, probably described the most recent development of the previous technologies and is an essential component of the development of a process of government of territorial transformations, since it is able to "control" the developments of urban space foreseen in the tools of urban planning. The "augmented city" can be controlled by a new vision of the urban system of which the state should not be "statically" planned for a certain future time, but the dynamics of transformation (even through an appropriate "sense extraction") read in real-time. "From the big data that the city produces) and the appropriate government actions put in place to guide the city towards new sustainability and compatibility with the available resources. Today it is necessary to expand and update the toolbox of the town planner who must be able to update the technological innovation in the processes of managing territorial transformations. As already happened during the last year, the MIT students will be involved in the research activities of the AURUS (Augmented Reality for Urban System) research group lead by prof. Romano Fistola at the Department of Engineering of the University of Sannio. The AURUS is developing a Live City Information Model on the city of Benevento envisaged by augmented reality devices.

Romano Fistola is associate professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Sannio and since 1998 he carry on researches concerning the relationships between new technologies and the urban development. He is author of more than 120 publications (national/international) and his last book (editor) is: Papa, R., Fistola, R., Gargiulo, C., (eds.) (2018), Smart Planning: Sustainability and Mobility in the Age of Change, Green Energy and Technology, Springer International Publishing, Cham, Switzerland (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-77682-8).
