Abstract

Most of the work to develop a smart city is how to connect physical urban infrastructure to the digital world to use it as a solution space for citizens and authorities to make best decisions to reach the best quality of life every day. Every city as a complex system needs to adequately manage their different dimensions. This chapter proposes the second approach with a top-down architecture identifying a set of information technologies linked in processes that every city service needs as part of their digital transformation process in their urban space. Hence, this chapter introduces six technological layers in a workflow pipeline that are explained as an approach to develop every smart system of a city. However, in the proposed workflow of technologies to implement, the authors give a central focus to the IoT infrastructure as the base to build information of quality, to have reliable services even after getting insights from analytics to come back to the IoT with their connected actuators to take actions.
