Abstract

This chapter focuses on unveiling the origins of the term, followed by the myriad evolving historic city frameworks, some of them going from intelligent city, to industrial city, to information city, to smart city, to ubiquitous city, as well as other variations that exist even today and ends with a summary and exploration of the different attempts made to define the smart city.
