Encyclopedia of Digital Society, Industry 5.0 and Smart City

Dear Colleagues,

Digital shapes, with increasing relevance and intensity, represent the most varied dimensions of human action; their consequent influence on the social and natural context that surrounds them also makes them a potentially relevant instrument in informing an increasingly sustainable society. They also raise profound challenges with the possibility of reproducing old inequalities and producing new ones at various levels (micro-, meso-, and macrosocial levels). 

Encyclopedia of Digital Society, Industry 5.0 and Smart City intends to be an undeniable reference for collecting an entry collection covering diverse digital society and smart city fields, namely topics relating to the importance, relevance, and/or challenges raised by the digital dimension in the various contexts of activity, regardless of the scientific perspective adopted in an inter-, multi-, or transdisciplinary vision.
