Summary
Smart city was popularized in early 2010 to describe how recent technological advancements and data can enable more efficiently city management. A smart city is a city that privileges information and communication technologies (ICTs) to promote better interaction with its citizens and to guarantee its inhabitants an improved quality of life and environment despite the growing development of the city. In (Giffinger & Gudrun, 2010), six axes are defined to measure whether a Smart City is well-performing These dimensions are Smart economy, Smart people, Smart governance, Smart mobility, Smart environment, and Smart living, each including various factors and indicators (Figure 1). This axe refers to the city's national and international accessibility, as well as the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) that can make traffic flows more efficient and transportation systems more sustainable, innovative and safe within and outside the city.
