Smart Cities initiatives have become a focal point of research and development activities for many fields including information technology (e.g. ICT，GIS, computer), urban planning, economics, geography, and transportation.
Smart city need provide real-time data-driven services for the human at the center. What would “smart” and “intelligent” mean to the residents of Smart Cities and how could they benefit, significantly, from living in these cities of tomorrow?
