This chapter examines the different definitions of the smart city that are circulating today. They are almost all situated between two extremes: on one side, a limited meaning with an emphasis on optimisation of the city's functional aspects, and in particular of its infrastructure, through primarily digital tools; and on the other, a much broader vision that embraces not only the efficient management of facilities and services, but also the promotion of production and the exchange of knowledge ‐ better quality of life through living more intelligently. The chapter discusses spatialised intelligence, technology, space and politics. Among the current proliferation of attempts at theorising, this book possesses two major points of originality. Firstly, it proposes taking the expression 'smart city’ much more literally than is usually the case. The attention paid to the spatial dimension constitutes a second specificity of this book's approach.
