Smart City - Definition

“Smart” describes to the city’s ability to create well-being for its citizens.

IBM defines a smart city as “one that makes optimal use of all the interconnected
information available today to better understand and control its operations and
optimize the use of limited resources.”

Smart Cities leverage the deployment of a network of devices – sensors and mobile
devices–, all connected through different means and/or technologies, according to their
network availability and capacities, setting a novel framework feeding end-users with an
innovative set of smart services.
