Today's smart city is a framework, mostly reliant on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), to develop, deploy, and promote sustainable development practices to address growing urbanization challenges.

In the past few years, there has been an explosion of new hardware, software and data-enabled approaches. Entrepreneurs in this sector are doing their part and creating exciting products and services to address communities’ unmet needs.

Perspectives on smart cities range from technical and social to economic and ecological. Depending on whether the perspective is on urban planning, ICT, energy, mobility, governance, or economy, the definition of a smart city can differ in multiple ways. However, synonyms such as intelligent, virtual, knowledge, sustainable, talented, wired, digital, and eco are often used to describe smart cities.
