Abstract

Technically, the smart city is a particular artifact based on the idea of mobilizing data produced by connected objects inserted in the building to monitor a set of processes in real-time (traffic flow, quality of drinking water distributed in the municipal network, ...) to instantly automate the measures to be implemented according to the observed situation. But the smart city also carries a specific ideology of the city and space and does not evolve in isolation. The smart city needs to be comprehended through concepts that allow it to be better understood.
