About
Dr. Mihai Burlacu is a leading voice in the critical examination of smart city and transportation paradigms. His research interrogates the foundational theories underpinning urban technological transformation, moving beyond mere application to question the very scientific character of these concepts. His most cited work, "Smart Cities and Transportation: Reviewing the Scientific Character of the Theories" (2022), which has garnered 28 citations, provides an epistemologically rigorous review of the often ambiguous and debated meanings of the "smart city" and its synonym, the "robotic city." By challenging the theoretical coherence of these dominant frameworks, Dr. Burlacu’s contributions are essential for scholars and practitioners seeking to build more conceptually sound and critically aware urban futures. His work stands as a vital corrective in a field often driven by hype, ensuring that the development of smart transportation and urban systems is grounded in robust, scientific scrutiny rather than unexamined assumptions.
