Smart cities and buildings
Abstract
Over little more than 30 years, smart cities and buildings have evolved, from an intriguing vision and interesting concept, to a globally present phenomenon. The difference between an intelligent and “traditional” (sustainable) city/building can be seen, first of all, in the presence of intelligent services system representing a new layer in the totality of urban fabric or building structure. Its particularity lies in the fact that it is complex, susceptible to changes, and capable of learning (evolving).
