title = "Smart City Resilience with Active Citizen Engagement in Helsinki",
abstract = "New solutions sometimes face challenges in acceptance as improvements and active citizen engagement plays a key role of resilient smart city development. This paper describes a set of actions in Helsinki as part of mySMARTLife project that are aimed to engage citizens in interaction. The actions range from online services and mobile applications to hands-on equipment implementations. They are mainly described from the technological but also from an economic and a social point of view. All the activities are connected to the Helsinki action plan to render the city carbon neutral by 2035. Motivation through positive experience requires practical solutions and reachable goals for approval and impact in smart cities progress.",

note = "Funding Information: This study was partially supported by grants from the National Science Foundation (IBN-9630428), and University of Missouri Research Board to G.R. Bourne, and the Board of Directors of CEIBA Biological Center Incorporated, the International Center for Tropical Ecology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL), Central Florida Herpetological Society, and Sawgrass Herpetological Society to H. York Some of these data were taken from H. York{\textquoteright}s thesis to UMSL. We thank M.A. Donnelly, A.M. Welch, Z. Tang-Martinez, J.G. Blake, B.A. Loiselle, T.C. Bergquist, A.C. Collins, D.D. Tobin, and anonymous reviewers for useful suggestions that improved this manuscript. J.G. Blake was indispensable with technical assistance and tutelage in the use of his software, FROGRAN, and Ecosim. Other technical assis- tance was generously provided by T.C. Bergquist, R. Dryer, J.G. Tello, and D.D. Tobin. The tireless field assistance of T.C. Bergquist, D. Cole, A.C. Collins, J. Palmisciano, J. Partin, and C. York are greatly appreciated. J.C. Cole of the American Museum of Natural History, J.D. Lynch of University of Nebraska, A.S. Rand of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, and G. Schneider of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan graciously identified voucher specimens of frogs. Vouchers are deposited at the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan. M.A. Donnelly and C. Farrell of Florida International University allowed the use of computers under their control after H. York returned to Florida. Without logistical support from G. Komlos, A. Mendes, M. & G. Younge, A. Wahab, L. Lewis, M. Karl, Tedroy, and Alfred, none of the field work would have been possible. We are also grateful to the Smith-sonian Institution for including us under their memorandum of understanding with the University of Guyana, that greatly expedited research permit acquisition. J. Caesar of the Faculty of Biology, University of Guyana, and especially D. Naraine of the Center for Biodiversity Studies facilitated the acquisition of voucher specimen export permits.
