隨著國際社會對全球氣候變遷議題的日益關注，「智慧城市」(Smart City)的發展逐漸成為關注焦點。歐盟於2010年3月提出「歐洲2020」(Europe 2020)計畫，將「智慧成長」(smart growth)、「永續成長」(sustainable growth)及「包容成長」(inclusive growth)等視為三大成長的趨力。2012年7月啟動「智慧城市和社區歐洲創新夥伴計畫」(The European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities, EIP-SCC)，並將該計畫宗旨設定在促進歐盟城市間的夥伴網絡關係。隨著EIP-SCC的提出與歐盟逐漸強調智慧城市的發展路徑，城市角色的興起也日益成為關注主軸。期許透過本文對歐盟智慧城市發展的初步觀察，未來在研究城市因應氣候變遷議題所扮演的角色時，能提供他國發展地方夥伴行動的解釋與套用，期望為台灣氣候變遷議題研究盡一份心力。 As international society focuses on global climate change issues increasingly, the development of Smart City draws lots of attention gradually. EU proposed “Europe 2020” in March, 2010. There are three main elements within the framework of “Europe 2020”, they are smart growth, sustainable growth, and inclusive growth. European Commission also started “Smart Cities and Communities European Innovation Partnerships, EIP-SCC” in July, 2012. EIP-SCC aims to foster and strengthen the networks of partnerships among European cities. This article tends to research the rise of cities from the development of Smart City in EU. Hopefully all related observations could offer other countries as models to develop local partnerships actions against climate change through the case study of European Smart Cities. Besides, the purpose of deepening as well as broadening the research of climate change issues in Taiwan could be promoted further as well.
