Smart Cities: Fundamental Concepts
This introductory chapter identifies key fundamental charactistics of a smart city. First and foremost, however, a smart city is based on humans and human interaction for a common purpose. These interactions are often successfully and synergistically organized through university-industry-government-citizens collaborations. A further distinguishing feature of smart cities is the unprecedented amount and types of data that can now be collected and produced through digital technologies. Technology also allows the city to prioritize interactions and establish dynamic relationships, allowing continuous identification and resolution of challenges. Regardlesss of the evolution of cities, they continue to be political and social entities; technology must be developed and implemented in line with the needs of citizens so that the end result is an increase in well-being and responsiveness. The top four research themes in smart city research are: (1) Technology (29%), (2) The nature of smart cities (17%), (3) Models and frameworks (13%), and (4) Policy and strategy ( 8%). Smart city innovators may want to start at the end and work backward.
