Artykuł analizuje potencjalne zastosowanie technologii blockchain w planowaniu metropolitalnym poprzez skupienie się na kryptowalutach miejskich jako nowym typie kryptofinansowania. Decentralizacja poprzez technologię blockchain oferuje kilka korzyści dla świadczenia usług metropolitalnych: przejrzystość, bezpieczeństwo, uczestnictwo, produktywność i niemożliwość zmiany danych. Przekształcenie tradycyjnych usług miejskich w funkcje miast inteligentnych podnosi znaczenie technologii blockchain dla planowania metropolitalnego. Technologia ta może być wykorzystana w planowaniu metropolitalnym do kilku celów analitycznych, takich jak: planowanie transportu, planowanie logistyki, wyznaczanie granic metropolii i jej otoczenia, mapowanie morfologii miejskiej, analiza dostępności usług metropolitalnych oraz monitorowanie bezpieczeństwa usług metropolitalnych. Dane dotyczące rynku pracy, dojazdów do pracy, statystycznych danych regionalnych i jurysdykcyjnych stanowią główne składniki analizy metropolitalnej. Kryptowaluty miejskie są bodźcem i wzbogacają procesy zarządzania danymi w planowaniu metropolitalnym. W artykule jedno potencjalne zastosowanie kryptowalut miejskich jest krótko przedstawione jako transmisja P2P (peer-to-peer) i bodźcowanie danych dojazdów do pracy dla obszarów metropolitalnych.

This paper examines the potential use of blockchain technology in metropolitan planning by focusing on municipal cryptocurrencies as a new type of crypto financing. Decentralisation through blockchain technology offers several advantages for the provision of metropolitan services: transparency, security, participation, productivity and immutability. The transformation of traditional municipal services into smart city functions raises the importance of blockchain technology for metropolitan planning. Blockchain technology can be used in metropolitan planning for several analytical purposes: transportation planning, logistics planning, demarcation of metropolitan borders and metropolitan hinterland, mapping urban morphologies, accessibility analysis of metropolitan services and monitoring of metropolitan safety services. Here, labour market data, commuting data, statistical regional data and jurisdiction data are the main components of metropolitan analysis. Municipal cryptocurrencies incentivise and enrich the processes of data management for metropolitan planning. In the paper, one potential application of municipal cryptocurrencies is briefly exemplified by a peer-to-peer (P2P) transmission and incentivisation of commuting data for metropolitan areas.
