The Conceptual Framework For Smart Cities And Ways To Transform Them

Authors : Ghellai Hayet .

Abstract

The new century has brought with it many new cultural terms and concepts whose meanings flirt with the concept of global technology, including (the electronic city, the global city, the information city, the virtual city, the smart city, etc.), which are modern terms based on the principles of the contemporary technological revolution. The concept of the "virtual world" available on the Internet has provided citizens and decision-makers alike with ample space for mature thinking on how to put modern technology at the service of urban growth. Discussions began about the possibility of constructing smart buildings that integrate environmental systems, energy use, and communication systems, until this approach to building design became popular, as it is compatible with modern technology.
