| Abstract |
A smart city is viewed as a sustainable, inclusive and prosperous city that promotes a people-centric approach based on three core components and seven dimensions, all of which integrate ICT into their architecture. The three core components are Smart City Foundation and Smart Institutions and Laws, which in turn are the pillars of the seven dimensions of a smart city: infrastructure development, environmental sustainability, social development, social inclusion, disasters exposure, resilience, peace and security. The three components together with the seven dimensions make a smart economy. A smart city foundation is composed of three elements: urban planning and design, land policies and basic infrastructure. For a city foundation to be smart, it must be inclusive at the onset of the urban planning and promote mixed neighbourhoods where social clustering is prevented. |
