Chapter Chapter 3 in Smart City Implementation, 2017, pp 45-65 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract A smart city is an innovative urban strategy, using high technologies to reduce the city environmental footprint and to improve the citizens’ quality of life. Smart cities use ICT to implement their smart strategies and to collect and deliver information at different users. For this reason, a smart city is somewhat joining different aspects of living in the urban area and link several concepts such as wired city, virtual city, intelligent city, information city, digital city, knowledge city, and so on. This deep use of ICT enhances the role of the smart city in collecting and delivering data, information and knowledge, affecting the daily life and improving its quality thanks to e_services, a deeper involvement of citizens in the city governance and a proactive role thanks to e_democracy and e_participation. In this chapter, the link between smart city and ICT is explored, aiming at outlining the pervasive role of ICT in smart projects, but also at highlighting smart projects using other technologies or no technologies at all and simply based on the citizens’ behaviours or governance style.
