Technology and Society in Smart City

“The use of Smart Computing technologies to make thecritical infrastructure components and services of acity––which include city administration, education,healthcare, public safety, real estate, transportation, andutilities––more intelligent, interconnected, andefficient”

What is Smart City ?

A city can be defined as ‘smart’ when investments in human and social capital and traditional (transport) and modern (ICT) communication infrastructure fuel sustainable economic development and a high quality of life, with a wise management of natural resources, through participatory action and engagement. (Caragliu et al. 2009)

The most effective definition of a smart city is a community that is efficient, livable, and sustainable— and these three elements go hand-in-hand.

A Smart City is one that is able to link physical capitalwith social one, and to develop better services and infrastructures. It is able to bring togethertechnology, information, and political vision, into a coherent Programme of urban and serviceimprovements.

A city well performing in a forward-looking way in economy, people, governance, mobility, environment, and living, built on the smart combination of endowments and activities of self-decisive, independent and aware citizens.

Forrester, Smart City is the combined use of software systems, server infrastructure, network infrastructure, and client devices to better connect seven critical city infrastructure components and services: city administration, education, healthcare, public safety, real estate, transportation, and utilities (Smart City, 2012).

IBM’s Smart Cities digitize andconnect infrastructures (IOT) to infuse them with new intelligence (IBM, 2012).

A city “connecting the physical infrastructure, the ITinfrastructure, the social infrastructure, and thebusiness infrastructure to leverage the collectiveintelligence of the city”

Why Do We Need a Smart City ?
