ABSTRACT
What is a Smartcity? 'Smartcity' is a vision. A vision of how the city of the 21st century might appear if we are serious about living sustainably and wish to leave any form of legacy to our descendants. Instead of a reactive approach to the manifold problems that contemporary life has thrown up, the Smartcity examines how we might live from first principles, taking the key component of any city - its people - as its starting point and raison d'iHre.
